Starting with my first.. MX440 blood rain, somethin or other 9200 somethin.. 9500 pro - modded to hell :D 9700 pro 6600gt X850XT <-- Current In the very near future, probably a X18 or X19.. They're both great... kinda stuck on ATI atm...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102688 this has 16 pipes & clocked faster, GTO only has 12.. price has really come down on these, same as the GTO after rebate... $89 can't beat it.

my budget system... Intel 521 @ 3.0 gig of kingston pc3200 cheap asrock motherboard 6600gt AGP (mild overclock) = 3,250 & X850XT PCI-E (stock speeds) = 5,690

The last ATI card I had was a 9700pro, like 4-5 years ago. Had Nvidia stuff since then. So I slap a X850XT card in my machine as I'm about to reinstall windows and it starts locking up about halfway through, so just incase I unhook my second harddrive, exterior fans, cpu back to stock and take...

I agree with that... The 7600gt is great but they're still $165, $145 AR... The X850XT has 16 pipes and 256 bit memory, the 7600gt only has 12 pipe's with 128 bit memory, although it is clocked faster (& has SM 3.0 support)... The question on which one is faster depends on the game being...

son of a ......... I just bought one of these last week for $145, $115 AR.... AAHHHHHHHHH

Exactly, regular price is $459... Usually goes down to $369 every now and then (every other week or something).... just add the link as a favorite and check it everytime you get on your pc... and yeah, the $160 was a mistake, but apparently some people got in on it before they fixed the price...

Out of those, definitely the ACER... but why not save up just a tad more and get a 20.1 with much better resolution ??? Those 19" widescreen's have less vertical size then a regular 17".... And btw, there are plenty of online stores here in the US that have that same Acer 19" widescreen for...

Now that's a deal, X19 for under $200.......... nice find.. :D

Humm, maybe we need a sticky on how to build your own custom computer table... get some ideas goin... I'm looking for a new one and everything looks so cheap these days (thin wood, etc) and they want too much for the quality stuff... I was thinking about hitting Lowe's and getting some 1"...

Nothing wrong with the dell, they're just some other great options is all I'm sayin...

eh, Everybody and their brother has a dell now... Try something else... I'm kinda partial to Viewsonic myself, so my vote is for the VX2025WM :D

My modest setup, compared to the rest of you guys... & no, I didn't clean anything... That's a 17" Viewsonic Optiquest Q7B3, 8ms, 500:1 contrast and an older 15" compaq 5017m... waiting on my other 17'' to come back.. I just bought a house so most of my extra $$$ is going to that, let me...

Great deal, it's ~$200 shipped at Newegg... I'd rather have the better resolution with the 20.1's instead of that 1440x900, but for the price you can't beat it :D
