I've been using cartridges by Ko-Rec-Type from a local computer dealer for my 880, and they're fantastic. I've used them for both black and colour, and do plenty of colour photos on Epson Photo Paper. Comparing an Epson cartridge to the Ko-Rec-Type, I couldn't find any noticable difference...

If you're looking for a good monitor as in good value, I'd suggest the Samsung SyncMaster 753DF. It's not a true flat, but for ~$200 CDN, you can't go wrong. Hope this helps.

I got the LG 12x write/10x DVD, and it works great. Only for $148 CAD, too.

I have an XP1800+ on an ECS K7S5A motherboard using the retail hsf and one cheap exhaust fan. Idle temps - Case 34, CPU 45. One question, what program do you guys use to test load temps? I can't use any of the distributed computing programs like seti@home, since I have a bandwidth limit. Any...
