For a monitor the 22" is really ok. But I'd like to get something that will res out more than 1680x1050.

And strong arm tactic's will usually always get you +rep points :-) rofl :-)

But I've got the 2407 Dell 24" and am very happy with it (1920x1200) apparently the new 2408 is better so you might want to look into that. But with the tri Sli you could probably get away with the insane resolution of the 30" screens, a whopping 2560x1600, but the cost of those is quite large (for the good screens at least).

24'' is where it's at. Best balance of price/spec IMO. I just got one of these; very happy with it as it's one of the few glossy desktop LCDs, which I think makes the picture look so much better.

Haha, 100% dependant on how much cash you've got in your pocket unfortunately... Thats a pretty slick looking display though, I did love how cool the screen on your old Dell XPS was. Much better looking than standard desktop displays.

One further thing, when you next come over to mine, if you b1tch and moan about paying for the ?4 taxi from the station or buying the LAN food again, then im chucking you and your craptop out

How much do you want for your 22"? Been meaning to get another to match mine and if im correct you have the exact same one as me?

Hey just a heads up you might want to look into the gateway 24" hd lcd it has a really high res 3 ms response time 1000:1 contrast ratio and it has a crap ton of inputs it has vga, dvi. componet, composite, hdmi, and i think it has like 4 usb ports plus it has a glossy finish as well so the colors really look beautiful its the one im saving up for!!!

Bought the new 24'' cos my work said they wanted to buy my 22'' off me for website scalability testing. They're gonna give me ?150 for it; if you can beat that you're welcome to it, but there's not a lot of point cos you could get a new one for ?190.

It's an LG btw, not a Belinea:

LG L226WTQ 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black/Silver

Well I never have posted a pic of my Tri-SLI setup. And remember, if you buy enough fans, cable management is no longer an issue :-)

Not a bad setup. I would try a little harder on the cable management man....

Lots of fans with bad cabling is just a shorter lifespan of the fan...

I just re arranged my cables and added insulation (for acoustics, its going to be a Movie player when I get the Core Duo running) I wanted to wire the UV CC switches to the outside of the case, and added my 80mm grill from MNPCtech.(Added some handles last week) Theres my new parts.

Aside from that My new rig is slowly piecing together.

Striker Extreme 680i - check
E7200
FlexXLC PC8500 2GB
EPS610 - check
My two 6600GT's until I get another bonus - check
My Gigabyte Aurua 570 - check
A nice new Swiftech GTX Cu block
