Re: Gaming Rig Contest Poll

OMG OMG! Now I have a complex. I currently have 2 matching 19" lcds. Been wanting 3 screens forever...but I dont know if i want 3 matching lcds or if i'd like the big lcd in the middle. But if I were to pick it, I'll need another cheap vid card for the 3rd monitor.
On the other hand, I read reviews on that video card and it looks awesome. Would be a definite improvement from my ATI x700...which does fine but its no elite card. Problem being, I dont *think* my MOBO has PCI-e. So it would have to sit for a lil bit until I can upgrade that.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I hate decisions. WHATS EVERYONE THINK?!?

AMD 64 3200+, 2ghz
1.5gb ddr

Edit: OOO! I forgot that when I updated my PC a year or so ago, the MB I put in has both AGP and PCI-e slots! (ASRock Motherboard - Product - 939Dual-SATA2 - Overview) Sometimes I'm smart. I think that makes my decision, but I'll let you know Inj.

Re: Gaming Rig Contest Poll

I chose the monitor. I looked at it @ OfficeDepot last night and it looks to be very nice for the price. And, the dimensions of it are pretty close to the 19"'s I have now, so it wont look too wonky. Now to wait for a good deal on a similar vid card!

Thanks a bunch Injustice! I'll post pics of my 4'4" of total monitor goodness when it comes.

Re: Gaming Rig Contest Poll

Okay Hornet, the order has been placed. Chances our Visa is going to flag the purchase as suspicious activity and call me at least 12 times to confirm it, but it shouldn't be more than three or four days until it arrives.
