Starting with the Screen.

This is what I own now

It is an excellent CRT - Ive had it 5 years without a single problem, the dot pitch is 0.26 and its frequency response supports 100mhz at 1024, upto 60mhz at 1600.

Im after a 19" flat panel monitor that supports both 1600 for graphics and 1024 for games and video.

Those Abit boardds have been recalled...

Apparently they overheat very quickly :/
