What's wrong with CRTs?

They are heavier and bulkier than LCD

boohoo, if you're at work they don't have to move, and if you're working on you computer you don't need acres of desk space ;)

PLus they still have better IQ than LCDs AFAIK...

what are you crazy?!?!?! If you're in any kind of image solution whether it be video or Photography, NEVER go LCD, maybe have an extra on the side, but you will not get the same green values you can achieve on a CRT on an LCD panel. I see all the mac users with their giant LCDs and all I can think to myself is "moron."

you do know that my ageing 9800 Pro pwns every geforce FX card evar made right?

I suspect you won't need a massively beastly gfx card for what you will be doing tho, a 6600GT/x800 would be plenty i imagine...

I call shens on account of

"2-72GB 10,000 RPM SATA WD Raptors"

I know they make 74GB Raptors, but not 72GB Raptors. You sir, are an attention whore.

You call shens on a typo?
