and if you think it'll a lot, can you make me a recommendation for a decent, yet still affordable lcd? (15 or 17" I suppose)
Thanks.

Just be sure you have an idea of how much desk space you're going to have, because some older colleges filled their rooms with desks/tables when personal computers were not common (you may not have enough space).
I had a desk with a depth of about 2.5ft and my 19" was never a problem. I used my keyboard tray to set my textbooks on while I was doing homework, and used the rest of the desk to write on. You'll see many people, usually people not too bound to electronics, with laptops and/or prebuilt systems with the sub-par 15" LCD specifically for college, but you certainly will not be an oddball for bringing your entire system; it is definately not uncommon. Is it more convenient to have an LCD? Of course, but you won't regret bringing your CRT.workingnonstop said:This is more what I meant. I'm not worried about hauling it in or out of the room, I'm not that weak. I just mean do people think I'm going to regret bringing such a space-hog to school with me?

Trinz said:I regret having gotten a 19" for a few reasons. It was a pain to carry even with an elevator. I needed to use my lifting gloves to keep it from slipping. Don't forget that you can't always just park in front of a dorm and take your stuff up.
