I have a 22" 1680x1050 Acer monitor that I got in 2005 if I recall correctly.
Lately when I go to start it up it keeps resetting itself again and again for a minute or two but then eventually it will start working and it seems to be solid. But, and this started before that, my monitor has...
I would say most likely it will probably be sometime in september.
I haven't kept up with computer parts and prices in years, so I figure it would just be best if you guys took care of that. I mean I've built a few of them, but I don't peruse computer parts like I used to.

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?

He bought the monitor from his friend who got a black friday deal or something. It is 1440x900 iirc
He has a windows 7 32 bit that he bought for his laptop that he plans on using for this.
He wants to play some new star wars mmo
Alright, well I thought intel was still clock for clock faster than AMD, I thought AMD was still using the inferior architecture, well good to know. How are biostar boards and how is their customer service?
He said he doesn't care about upgradability, he's using a 32 bit OS as it is so as I...
Yes but the cheaper it is the better the monitor is 1440x900

China is probably more capitalist than the United States... They have an unhampered market and less welfarism, that's why they're growing so fast. You cannot say something is similar to the soviet union when it has primarily privatized production.
I don't know what resolution it is,if it is going to effect which video card you recommend I would say assume it is whichever one is the more demanding resoultion.

If I were to attempt something like that I would build a few VAWTs (vertical axis wind turbine)
if you could achieve even a fraction of the efficiency these units are pumping out it might be worth doing.
