Anyone have a simple 17" flat panel they want to unload? I'm still on a 15" CRT. Hurts my eyes.

psyeah. i just got my first LCD monitor last month. up to then, i've been scrounging free triniton-tubed monitors from Craigslist (got a free 45lb 19" from a fellow SV owner earlier this summer)

main machine is a p-m 1.1 laptop - only 1gb of ram, 20gb hd. secondary machine is a p3 dell server w/ 768mb of ram and 4 x 9 scsi drives

however, i can pipe youporn onto a 72" projector screen. makes life more palatable...

I know the feeling. I did finally get a pair of 19" LCD monitors for my computer at work (there was a special from Fry's for $99 each, so I just bought 'em myself) but all my monitors at home are tubes. There's an old NEC Multisync 19" that's my main display and a pair of ancient 17" Dells that I swiped from the dumpster at work- those get moved around as needed. The only other machine I have with a "permanent" monitor is the media PC that drives the big CRT RP in the living room.

Got two of 'em (HR20s). Just added the 750GB Esata Seagate FreeAgent external. Firefold has a great price on Esata cables that work fine.

Done with modding all my DirectTivos. The HR20's are certainly nice from that standpoint.

I'm picking up a 42 inch LCD Friday for the living room. I'll probably upgrade the 110 inch 4805 projector in the basement with a 720p soon.

Damn you, technology!
