and I'll keep my LG 24 inch monitor. Very few of the new ones run 1920 x 1200 and they're mostly TN panels now, too.
I will definitely get a DX11 vid card (Radeon 5850) when the prices come down a bit and a SSD after I learn a bit more about them and know which one to get. I may even talk myself into the Corsair 800D case, too.

Hey, MD, if you haven't built it yet, try going with these:
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186169
Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231225
I'm using a very similar Foxconn MoBo (mine was actually discontinued) and this exact memory. Love the 12GB with Photoshop!

How about Dick Dastardly...kind of reminds you of Snidely Whiplash.

Phoon, I'm still searching for the right nick.
Mirsguy, my proc is a 1156 socket proc, not a 1366.
CarGuy, I've thought of using that one but Snidely died. I don't want anything remotely associated with that one.
Philly, you're right.
Doc, I'll get to Cincinnati someday. I hate driving in that town for some reason. It's worse than Chicago.

Hope you do, mate...Anne and I are in Loveland...just east of Cinci so you won't have to enter the city at all.

Have fun with your present. Just like all good ones *some assembly is required*
Maybe Santa can help you out with your identity problem. They don't call him St. Nick for nothing.
