Well i posted a few weeks ago my list of hardware i got. I havent bought it yet . So i reviewed it again. I know have redo some things. The former setup didnt included a monitor and was around the 4000 Eur :| It now is around the same price including a MONITOR.

Cooler Master CM Stacker 810 (E-ATX, NO PSU, Silver)
Processor:
AMD Opteron 175 Dual Core (S939, 2,2GHz, 2MB, Boxed)

+
Sapphire Radeon X1900 XTX 512MB DDR3, (PCI-e, 2xDVI)

Total: € 3.885,75 With deliver costs: €3956,59
 
You bought a realitvely low resolution LCD TV (1300+ x 768?) although capable of cpu vga inputs as your monitor?

Can't agree with that call...

IMO, you should have gotten at least a 24" widescreen with 1920x1200 res capabilities....

Im thinking of getting it custom laser cutted... ;) Also about the monitor... I wont use high resolution in game nor desktop... Rather low with full eye candy... I cant stand high resolutions as i cant concentrate on it... But the size of the monitor will make up the low resolution?

And what else monitor are you suggesting with the same stats, but higher resolution with same price card of 1500 eur??

Ehm k... So are there any 30 - 37" lcd-monitor/tv's with that resolution and same stats avg... i cant find anything on the web.... :(

I have seen the LG 32LB1R It 32" same res. But a better contrast (1600:1), HD ready (Dont know if the 320p is too?) It doesnt have a vga but does have HDMI... So with a dvi->HDMI cable.. And a build in tuner... Wich the 320p doesnt have (atleast not on the site im looing at maybe the forgot or something)

You'd make your own dad pay to store stuff on your hard drive? If you were my son, I'd take you out back and beat you with a cane (assuming you weren't bigger than me). How about you just buy him a bigger hard drive? Or a new computer.

Your system is very close to what I'm going to build ( I'm cheaping on the video for now). I can't wait to hear about overclocking on your motherboard.

This is real similar to my setup but you should know that there is no crossfire edition yet for the 1900xtx so when you pair it with the 1900 crossfire edition, it runs @ 1900xt speed (slower than it can). so you'd be waisting quid. you should get the 1900xt or wait for the 1900xtx crossfire edition to come out(if it ever does).
