    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum LEDs

    My HD LED doesn't work either. I tried both ways. The Led should work with a SATA drive right? It's hard with my big ol' hot dog fingers to keep moving thease little things around.

    Dell UltraSharp 2001FP/2005FPW Digital LCD = $554

    be carefull when you add the filler item. I just ordered the 17" with a multimedia keyboard for 14.95 (used a 25%off accessory cupon to get it to like 11 something) but then the shipping cost you $8.50.. sucks.. but 296 with tax and shipping with semi nice keyboard aint bad.
