If best = most expensive, it'd be my 17" LCD with 16ms refresh :p

2nd would probably be the board (8RDA+) which I got for about 80
3rd would probably be the Ti4200 since it was about $70 used.

It's all good, except my P4P800-DLX which doesn't like my other components.

EDIT: I thought I quoted the ATC-201.

Well, my NEC ND-2500a DVD-RW is the only thing that's not 3 years old. :laugh:

For myself, it's definitely my 2.4ghz A64.

Didn't you have 19" Planar? How does 2001FP compare to your previous LCD?

i had an envision 19 inch LCD. 16ms response time is just so much better than 25 ;)

also, i love the built in USB ports in the 2001FP

The AD-DA system I suppose. The master reference is stabilised with its own adiabatic cooling based system, (+/- 0.0005 deg C) it's shielded from all types of radiation (over 25 MeV) and the timebase reference has its own hydrogen maser clock. (+/- 1 sec every 10^12 years)

Cheers!

Duron 1800 o'clocked to 2200 mhz on AIR, blows away a ton of P4 chips for more than a 100$ more. Paid 35$ shipped. . .
