mark Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 My system has a 21", used, monitor. I have my old 17" monitor next to it (different system). The 21" makes the 17" look absolutely puny. I'll leave the spec's on the guts of the tower to you but a large monitor is something that I think I would not like to do without. Used 21" monitors can be had for $180 American. 17" new are down to $70-$80 bucks.Used 42" plasma, $1800. I wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redder Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 A large screen isn't exacly my dream, why do you want one so big, is it games or image manipulation? I have a 14" and i already think its kinda big lol, i just wish it would work fine @1024 but it doesnt that well, 800x600 is the one i like so i dont bother with it, now that ive started to use Photoshop i can finally undestand why would anyone want a big resolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I do minor CAD drawings in which it is nice to have a large screen and the use of images to show clients what we do and are capable of is nice to see on larger screens. I think that down the road there is going to be a lot more integration of home entertainment and computer systems, so watching t.v. is nicer on a large screen(and how many people here have set up a second, old system, to play music? I read one post of this here at msfn already). Gamers obviously would probably want larger screens with better resolution. For people who do a lot of work with computers and use multiple windows for different parts of their job, it can be handy having a large screen to have two or more windows visible at the same time and even a second monitor.Besides, my eyes are starting to get weak. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incroyable HULK Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Backup SATA Raid 0 of Seagate NCQ 400Go (800Go) are you paranoid??? Not paranoid, I like to have a fast system but also a Huge Storage System. With those raptors, you can't store that much files...And don't worry about all this space on my drive. I keep ISO images of important Microsoft Volume Licence CD on my workstation. For now I have a 200Go hard drive and soon it won't be enought!P.S. I LIKE IT QUIET TOO! I can't stand to listen to fast SCSI drive whinning all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
