By Dying I mean a few scattered pixels that are finally starting to get to me, and I really didn't treat the monitor well -- left it on without standby setup, etc. Really, its my own fault that its starting to go.
Any opinions on the Acer? I haven't heard much about it.
Currently I've got an Viewsonic VX2025WM which is starting to die. I'm at about 25 dead pixels, and I've had this pannel for about 5 years now, so I don't really think it owes me too much.

I was on watercooling, however I decided to stick with stock cooling for a little while...
Question, as I'm looking to upgrade in the nearish future, and want to stay on water when I do.
I'm currently running an opty 165 @ 2.8ghz & a 7800GTX in my loop, on a TDX and Maze 4 respectively. I'm using a BIP240, D5 pump, and a DD dual 3.5" bay res. Now, if I upgrade to a 8800GT, and a...
