I just got a new toy!

Animal · 08-28-2002, 09:44 PM

Just picked up a Sony 21" monitor! Holy crap, people, if you're running 17" or 19" you're missing out BIG TIME! This is incredible. Running games at 1600 X 1200 is great, not to mention a 2048 X 1536 desktop.
Just bought a Triumph Spitfire last week too for my new project. Having a tough time with this British engineering though. Yep, I was born in Britain, but we sure don't know how to engineer a car very well.
Hmmph, I wonder if I can get a 350 im this baby?

I get a bad feeling when a person named Animal claims they got a new toy.

J/K.

Be afraid! Be very afraid! LOL Kinda reminds of the time when I got my oxy-acetaline rig a few years back!

Awesome. My brother has a 21" monitor for his computer...but he joined the marines and doesn't get to use it. He said I could have it if I paid for shipping. Great, right?

It would have costed over $100 for shipping and they wouldn't even gurantee that it would arrive in one piece. They'll take my money for it and then say its not their fault if they break it? That's crap!

I didn't want to risk breaking that monster monitor, so it can stay where it is. I might have to just go buy one of my own.

Animal, what type of monitor is it? A liquid crystal display monitor? Just curious.

I think its a flat-screen, trinitron or whatever they call it. A LCD 21 incher would cost a bomb.

I've got 21" flat screen anti-glare, but no room on my desk

I have to put my keyboard on top of it and squeeze my hwk in the last tiny spaces available. [img]smile.gif[/img]
it's worth it, though.
