Blimey, those TFTs have gone up a bit Cammy!  I thought they were £299 last time we looked!  :o

Would you believe, Cammy, that I'm one of those strange people that would prefer a CRT to an LCD?




No, I don't believe me either  :( :shuddup:

I've got 19" AOC pure flat CRT.  I hate the sheer size of it, but it beats the pants off any TFT display -- at half the price, too!

You're absolutely right Rod. I used to have a cheapo (can't remember the brand) 19" CRT, which used to knock spots off all of the 17" and 18" TFTs that we used to sell.

Goodness only knows how good a quality 19" CRT would be :o

Well I tried a Dabs 15" TFT way back, and compared to the two Dell [second hand ]17" Sony Trinition tubed CRT monitiors I have now, it was crap.

Of course me and Adept have had this disscusion about cheap TFT's before, viewing angles and all.

But I must admit, the space and power savings would be nice, but at the end of the day viewing pleasure is number one on my list.

By the way Adept.......nice case, bet it would look cool on top of the telly, instead of that lava lamp  ;D

Ok all done  ;D took exactly 1 hour after I cleaned out the heat sinc and put some more artic silver in when puting the thermo couplings on the bottom of the heat sinc.. 4 leads and couplings later and fixed my HD lights as well.. some silly bugger put the leads they wrong way round ???<<<< me  8)and I can control the fan speed now.. its so quiet  ;D

1 scare though after I booted up and the PC just sat there whirring away, but wasnt nothing to do with the new unit it was the Incd thingy (The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort1, did not respond within the timeout period).. came up with a ? against it after 5 mins, 2 reeboots later all clear and now running luverly  ;D.
