This what i will built for 1.200
How about considering getting a cheaper LCD monitor. or a CRT monitor
since they are cheaper in price and better picture than all lcds.
If u currently have a monitor, how about eliminating the lcd for now, this way u could buy more powerful hardware for your rig. like an dual core processor under 1000 dollars.
How about this CRT monitor in .20mm dot pixels. Much better than this lcd .
Samsung SyncMaster 997mb CRT Monitor $190.00
