My latest monster!

[Panda Man]

Oh my. What a beast.

I'm assuming the 1st monitor's plugged into a computer, what's in that computer?

Specs in the first post

I think I just splooged all over the 8800GTS.

Probably.

Hey about time you get a decent rig Panda. Nice grad build. =D
You're gonna like cleaning the dust outta the tower though I tell ya. Keeps your HW cold but also makes them DUSTY. =(
Also stock Intel HSF? You're not cool enough to be part of HL.

Thanks, but you still suck

Why only 300GB?

Because that's what I had. Didn't buy a new HDD yet.

the only thing i have to put up with this monitor is a 30second warmup on the CRT but so long as you keep the brightness below 90% its crisp and clear picture. seriously people need to not limit themselfs just becasue they cant get it new. belive me i've been building computers on a budget of 0.00US$ for about 4 years and you can find some good stuff being thrown away by local scools and hospitals.

That's actually how I came across the Trinitron on the right.

also i have to ask, whats with all the colors on the mobo? i remember back when there werent even plastic guwar rails on the IDE controler port you had to line pin1 with pin1 to make it work. ALL the connectors back then were just black and i liked it black. now its all colorfull :\

To stop idiots from blowing the damn thing up and RMAing it saying it was DOA. The only thing that's actually useful is the RMA banks being colored so I know which channels are linked without having to look at the manual.

It's purdy, but um, if you're gonna build a new computer, why not purchase a good monitor to go with it? I'll sell ya my Sony Trinitron (17") HMD-A200 monitor, it has a cool lightning bolt effect right before it displays the sony logo.

That's pretty much the one on the right.

Not bad, but you need a new, bigger monitor

I have plans for a nice LCD in the future
