Thanks for a great answer, I'll look into this model. I'll also try to 're-convince' his idea of widescreen as some of you suggest.

Building a new PC for brother in-law specifically for gaming. I was hoping for some recommendations of monitor specifically for gaming. The monitor cannot be wide screen. It's his RULE. So what is the best NON-WIDE Screen monitor at the moment ? Thanks for your advice. :)

I've been given the green light. I've $1000 USD to burn. Which is the BEST ?

Well I'm definately buying this !

I find that with the wider screens. you get less screen real estate from top to bottom, So you end up having to do a lot more scrolling in documents and while web surfing. I browse and read a lot so I like the normal 4:3 ratio. And this monitor you can rotate 90 degrees with auto magic...

It's the new 971P In GLOSSY WHITE PICS http://www.displaybank.com/new2004/review/review.php?r_id=1768&page=2&mode=show IN GLOSSY BLACK PICS http://www.benchmark.co.yu/article.php?sid=11475 - Improved over the 970P is the contrast - 1:1500 as apposed to the 1:1000 - Much improved...

Won't be any worthy 'conroe' mATX board till mid next year. . . give up the wait.

Get rid of the speakers and the stupid camera and I'm sold ! :p

Thanks Steeve for your trouble. I thought the front was gonna be hiden 5 1/4 inch bays but it's only the USB ports. We all know what is the better deal SG01e 4 ME ! ! !

It won't fit it in the V600 except in *passive*. The fan is too high. Some guy has done a mod of the PSU position and it looks sweet. http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p8300034fi5.jpg http://www.gpforums.co.nz/showthread.php?threadid=333532&perpage=25&pagenumber=1 Or you could...

I gave up on any worthy C2D mATX motherboards 'till next year.

I think SFF fan's with Conroes have already "paid the price". I went back to ATX when I saw the Lian Li V600 was as small as a Silverstone TJ08 mATX. The only price to pay is a low profile heat sink fan ~ but a little modding might fix that.

Don't want to bite anyone's boat, maybe I'm missing some vital variables or just getting plain too old, but . . . Why don't you just call them or email to confirm what you intend on buying ? Isn't that the most normal and natural thing to do ? :D Edit : I missed that you couldn't get an...

I've waited for at least 10 weeks + for a good mATX board for conroe. I can see it's not happening anytime soon, and I can see nothing before 2007 on the horizon. The new Gigabyte 965GM-S2 will be just as poor an overclocker you can betcha ! Using the Core2 on stock motherboard is waste of...

That really kills the the point of lanbox lightness. Notice that the Black versions are almost double the weight. !?!? WTF FOR ? Do the optional 7" monitors come in Silver ?
