BenQ FP202W

the only downside to lcd's is not playing a game at your monitors native resolution, it's just not as crisp as you would want it to be.

I've heard good about BenQ, but one customer recently shot the company as a whole at the Radio Shack I work at. As for the LCD monitors, if you don't play at it's native resolution, could the picture quality actually be worse than my current CRT monitor @ 1024x768 (or 1152x864)? One of the big draws on why I want do get an LCD is because 1.) uses less power, and 2.) it is bigger than my 17" one, and should necessarily look better.

Enough of that for now though... I've got a class to catch. Thanks in advance.

Solution: Don't succumb to "zomg widescreen" fever.

Nothing fancy, but it does the job. Minus a problem with overheating in the summer (should rectify that soon. Adding a second 12cm fan and a second 8cm fan, both for extraction).

I was thinking of adding a tv tuner, but I'd rather shell out for a cheap digital TV so I can keep playing my gamecube.

I'd totally use that P3 w/256mb RAM.

Doing an overhaul on it in the next few weeks. 2GB RAM + Vista? Yes please.

until you realize how much slower it really is compared to a p4

Also, 2gb ram + Vista is a good combo.
