good 19" TFT offer (page 12)
Posted by Muks_C
just going back to my resetting problem, i reconnected the reset switch to the mobo and left it on for 45 mins, came back, and it hadn't reset, so it might just have been loose or something, so i've left it attached. but if it resets just once, then i'll disconnect it again.
edit: just pressed the reset button, it didn't reset the pc, so it might be dead now anyway, so i'll just disconnect it from the mobo.
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

Yeah, from OcUK - forgot you were a member 
- that's how I use my systems - one for my main rig, and one for my HTPC.
If it's the same as my 2405FPW, then you won't be able to use both VGA and DVI with picture-in-picture, but I doubt that's a concern to you.

Nah I'd be OK with that. I'd like to be able to watch TV/play FM07 and be able to have MSN on without any overlapping. If I did get this monitor and an Xbox360 I'd most likely run only the PC or the Xbox on the screen at any one time.
I've been thinking about building a cheapo Linux box with perhaps Ubuntu and Fedora on just to gain experience of the OS. I was going to keep my current monitor for this but I could have the Linux box VGA'd up and use just one monitor? Then I could bring the current monitor home and setup another cheap box to act as a decent PC for when I'm home from Uni.
Either that or get a MacBook. Oh the choices.

Not true actually! The VGA dosn't work in just 480,720 and 1080, it accepts alot of resolutions including 1680x1050 Haven't heard any problems with Color Washout on them monitors, but if you do decide to go for the 360 I'd check other people's experiences....
At that price too, I'd go for the 20"! sounds like a great offer, I'd get one too but I don't really need another monitor atm and I'm trying my hardest to save money :/ But it dosn't surprise me Gav's interested in getting one 
Sometimes I wonder how many hours his paychecks actually last 
come to think of it I think hours is been generous :D

Oh right, so its possible I could get it to show my 360 at 1680x1050 then? Ace.

You be quiet! I've not spent anything of my money since I last got paid!

In the cold hard light of the morning, I just don't have the room for it atm. When I redo my room (planned for Qsomething 2007), then I'd be fine, but it's not really practical at the moment. I think given the popularity of large monitors now, the prices will only fall, and this sort of price might become a bit more normal. Think I'll hold off for the moment.
As for the Antec's - they're generally good and solid cases. 300W for an equally solid Antec would probably be fine, but it depends on what you're intending to run really. A P4 Prescott with 2 hard drives and an X1900XT or something would likely mean fire

It's going to be an AMD 3000 64, 2x512Mb DDR RAM, a hard disk, optical drive (not sure which yet, DVD-ROM/CD-RW or DVD-RW?!). I've not decided whether I'd need seperate sound and graphics cards. The motherboard I looked up had onboard gfx and sound. Now sound I think I could get away with using an onboard but gfx? Think I found a cheap AGP gfx somewhere. So with all that I doubt I'll be pushing the 300W PSU?

Nah, it'll be fine
