The way I see it. If you are going to buy local at a Bestbuy. Buy the monitor, take it home and give it a try. From what I know they will let you return it within X amount of days if you're not happy with it. Double check on their return policy. If you were doing this online at newegg or your choice here. I would do all the research I could before ordering. Given the option to take it home and then return it if needed. I call this buy and try. I know most will not agree with this. Then again, if we all agreed on everything then we wouldn't be here now would we.

As I understand it, the workgroup must be the same on all computers in order to see each other.

I've only gotten an invalid CD key after slipping the beta release of SP3. You didn't by chance do that did you?

Care to tell us a little more about your system? What graphics card are you running? How much memory? From what I know, COD2 can be very demanding on your PC if you try and run its setting on high.

Here's what I have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811999344 I have two of these in my case. One intake and one exhaust.. The original fans I bought with my case, just could not keep up with my cooling requirements. They were quiet, but having a couple of 8800gtx running in SLI need air, not silence. As long as the noise doesn't bother you, they will move a lot of air. Then again, they have a speed control on them. So you are able to slow them to 800 rpms if you wish.

I use webmin on my ubuntu server. Not sure what OS you're running it on. http://www.webmin.com/download.html

Not sure about WGA. Activation is required... If you're not connected to the net you'll have to use the phone to activate.
