wow.

I got back from the gym this morning and turned on my computer, and my monitor went

"bzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZTT CRRRRAAACCKK POP!"

and now my beautiful 22" CRT is toast.

and I can't afford a new monitor because my wife just wrecked my car last week, and 3 weeks before that I fried my motherboard and got a whole new system

crapppppppppppppppppppp......

Only a matter of time before my computer will blow; Its arond 30+ degrees in my room. With a overclocked graphiccard. If I hold my hand inside the computer my hand will burn! I have been thinking about buying a fan so it can flush cold wind right into the computer.

Cracked me up thanks

yeah I'm on my wife's laptop. I have Tight VNC installed, so I can control my desktop from her lappy, but there's no way I'd be able to play like that (obviously).

...you're right, it does seem that I have awful luck this last month...but I'll get through. Fortunately I've kept a good handle on our finances, so even though I had to buy a brand new computer and a brand-new car, I'm not in debt...This is going to be tough, though, because I told her that we can't spend any money on anything unnecessary, but then I make an exception for a new monitor. haha I'm gonna get my ass kicked

Sorry to hear that man. I'm still using a 22" NEC FP1370 as my primary monitor. I love it, and have no intentions of giving it up for a LCD until this thing dies.

The only reason I bought an LCD is because I go to LAN parties...and my CRT could stand to go on a diet!

lol!!

I haven't figured out how to get her INTO the kitchen.

I think I should try the E.T. approach...leave a little trail of Reese's Pieces going right to the stove, hansel & gretal style

You gotta love hardware failures--takes the guesswork out of when to upgrade.

Sorry to hear about the hardware losses, both computer and vehicular. Anyway, be sure to allocate about US$300 or so. There's probably a good panel out there with a good price and performance. A friend of mine got the Viewsonic VX2025wm for under 300 and he likes the whole world of a difference it made. Added to that it is widescreen and it's an even bigger bonus overall.

Save up now... but what I have mentioned is perhaps the best option until some loony finds a Dell coupon combination that gets us a 24" wide for under 400.
