[quote name="corax"][quote name="Mysterio"]don't skimp on the monitor (which you shouldn't).[/quote]This is something I've never understood. Everyone I've known who was bargain PC shopping (including both of my parents) worried themselves sick over meaningless performance specs, and then totally dismissed the need for a decent monitor. The monitor is your only window to the computer universe! It's absolutely the last thing you should skimp on, and it's one of the few things that will perform noticeably better the more you spend. Most importantly, a cheapo monitor <i>will</i> die horribly the day after the warranty expires.[/quote]
