LCD panels

[Mark Szidik]

Dual 15" LCD's is a good idea.  I have dual head setup on my
Linux box at home already. Lets see two 15" screens at 1024 W +
1024 = 2048 pixels across.  Thats pretty awesome.  That even
beats my favorite LCD: the SGI 1600SW[1] which is 1600 x 1024.

Here is my whole story.  I am getting my annual bonus from work
of $1200.  I wanted to get an LCD for about $800 and then use the
other $400 for system upgrades.  My K6-2 450 is feeling a bit
slow lately.  I wanted to get a new MB + Athlon 1Ghz, but my LCD
price keeps creeping up and up.  Oh, what a dillemma....


[1] www.sgi.com/flatpanel/

at buy.com for $1242 - 30 cupon + free shipping, starting
to sound really tempting.  Only problem is I don't have a
offically supported video card.
