Once I sell my old Athlon 700mhz system I'll get a 19" LCD. Now I have a 17" LCD from KDS, which I leave with the XP system.
Have you done any IT shoping?

***UPDATE***
I got the NForce 4 SLI because there are no Ultras in sight. So I payed a little more but I got a better MOB, that might be usefull in the future! Also I got un updated NEC DVD burner. It makes all DVD+ as DVD-ROM booktype making it readable by any DVD player.

Nice setup.

But, isn't this season about buying for others?

[quiet mike]

I am buying for myself, but this way I can give a gift to my family. I am keeping a few parts from the current XP system, which I will replace and then give that system to my brother and sister. They use it for mIRC and gaming, and I needed it for work, so we just couldn't get along on the who can use it. The computer is mine so I have priority. Now there will be no more problems of this sort.
