| Re: Building a computer for a friend, any suggestions? even when you remember the monitor is what allows you to enjoy what you're doing? it's like buying a 360 then hooking it up to a black and white tv from the 70's  |

| Re: Building a computer for a friend, any suggestions? No, what i was saying is that its a bite to lug around a CRT, much easier to just get a nice LCD of large size, but still weigh less than a CRT. Pentium D 915|EVGA 7050 mATX|OCZ XTC 2GB|XFX 7900GS XT|Hyper Type-R 580W|Qmicra 2 Case |

| Re: Building a computer for a friend, any suggestions? oh for sure. imho the best balance for frequent lan-ners is like a 19" LCD. $200 on newegg. also look into widescreen if you haven't already, it's amazing! in CSS you can see so much more ; ) |
