AMD Build under $650

Alright, 22"er...

SAMSUNG 220WM Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1 Built in Speakers $269.99 (249.99 after MIR) Free shipping

The other 22"er's will cost relatively the same due to shipping. Since Samsung has one of the better names I thought i'd go with them for $3.00 more. The specs are most similar to the Acer AL2216Wbd (5ms, 700:1, 300 cd/m2). The only thing Samsung doesn't have on their specs is Display Colors, which they don't even have on their website. I'm guessing 16.7 million though.
 
Samsung > Acer in terms of quality.
Samsung > Acer in monitor size
Acer> Samsung in price
 
Acer or Samsung, whatever you do, please don't get a 19" LCD for gaming. LoL. I'd go Samsung over an Acer. Either way though you got good 3year warranty on both.
 
i got a question for you guys. None of you questioned him on his mid-tower selection. I noticed a lot of the newer video cards are very "long". Is the 9600GT not as long as say, a 3870 or the X2 version?
 
Should be no problem, The 9600GT is the same length as an 8800GT at 9-9.5". The HD 3870X2 is longer at 10-10.5" in length. If his Raidmax case HDD bays were fixed and facing the other way like how the CoolerMaster Mystique cases are setup, then, this will pose a problem.

The 9600GT is 9" long. The HD3870 X2 is 10" long.

The CoolerMaster case he chose should fit either card, though the HD 3870 X2 will be a seriously tight fit.

Danny, he went with the Raidmax Smilodon case

It should be no problem fitting i this case. Even a 10" long 3870X2 will fit.

Ahh, was going from this post:

Hmmm I would not go with that Raidmax Smilidon case. It is not worth $80 IMO. Especially since you can get the significantly better Coolermaster RC690 for cheaper:
Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP ATX Case - $62
