I already have a Samsung SM-245B 24" Widescreen LCD TFT Monitor - Black, but i don't watch movies on any of my Computers (i use XtoDVD, converts any format to PAL and burns the DVD so it can be played in a DVD player) so i watch my DVDs in our front room on a 40 inch Widescreen

Im looking at Sony DVD/RWs ATM

Nice build, Cat. I guess you single people can afford all that!

Things are looking interesting on the Graphics card front, today my first choice is the ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 1024MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI > Here this is a dual GPU (like crossfire in one card) and if you read > Here nVidia are about to do the same "well they would", so as i have to wait until mid March for my Q9300 CPU i will try and be patient to see what nVidia can come up with , but if its going to be months i will be going ATI guys !

Rocking setup!! I've just built a new one as well, but nothing like yours:

Core 2 Duo 2.66 gHz (E6750)
2 gb ram - adata PC6400
500 gb western digital sata HD plus a 200 gb western digital IDE HD (from my old box)
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mb
MSI NX8500GT video
Rosewill 500w PSU
Rosewill R5604 0.8mm screwless case w/ 120mm fans front and back
(huge & heavy)

Ok, so it's not a mega-racer but it works for me.
