Well, I did it. lol I purchased a 2405FPW on Monday. :) Got it through eBay - with shipping, it was $934.** Yeah, not a great deal, but less than if I'd gone with Dell or damn close. It'll be here Friday. I can't wait! Thanks all for the great input. :)

You really like VIA that much more than nForce? Wow. I won't do dual core b/c it won't affect my gaming and I don't do any sort of multimedia stuff aside from gaming and DVDs. Would be a waste of $.

Kewl. Once I get the ball rolling, I'll definately do that - thanks for the input.

lol I didn't even notice you guys had a For Sale/Trade forum. l0llrz Folks pretty honest on that forum?

I have a Sapphire x800 256 Pro. Works fine, no complaints. As for the early adoption - I totally understand what you mean. :) From the looks of things, it's going to be atleast early October until I can afford the 2405, so that's one month. After that, another two weeks to get the...

I'd just like to say thanks at this point for all the great help you guys have given me. Kudos!

Coupons seem more hit-or-miss than finding deals on eBay. It would be outstanding to get that monster monitor for only $700. Wow. Yes, I do have a 939 chip, the 64 3500+. Right now the 7800GTX and SLI mobo are the combo of choice. However, the monitor will be my first purchase. Can't...

I'm not really an overclocker, but the Abit KV8 K8T800 VIA board is VERY nice. Stable as anything. Comes with some software over clocking and whatnot, but I only have retail box 64 3500+ cooling, so not really an option for me.

TBH, I'm an eBay whore. Specifically this auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Hm... lol As for coupons... They're never aound when I could use them probably. lollerz Besides, if I can get a better deal on eBay, I will. Especially...

Well, with the way my pay schedule is, I think I'll just do this... Save up for the monitor first. My current config will run everything fine. Next, I'll save up to buy either an Abit SLI board w/GeForce 7800GTX or an ATi Crossfire Ready mobo w/an Crossfire Edition X850XT PE. Then I will...

Now this one may start a flamewar.... I hope you folks can be restrained enough to not devolve into that, but here goes... SLI and Crossfire. From what I've read, SLI is out, tried and true, proven to work, but a little iffy on the implementation of things (Profiles, etc). Crossfire isn't...

I like my Abit enough that I'm definately willing to go with an Abit PCI-E SLI board. Do any of you know how that passive cooling on the SLI 2.0 Abit board is? Is the passive cooling better than slapping the fan on top of the chip?

My puter's DVD player... I dunno if it's Progressive. It was a $60 LG model that burns and reads both DVDs and CDs, both R and RW and DL for DVDs. Even does DVD RAM. Awesome drive.

Here's a great article for HD n00bs such as myself. http://www.projectorcentral.com/hdtv_edtv.htm

Hm... I'm not really clear on the difference between 480i and 1080i. Guess it's time to go read up and see why we can't have it on puters now! :)
