I've just treated myself to a swanky ViewSonic VX912 19" LCD monitor. Woot!.
Say I was looking at one of those too and I indeed forgot to mention this in my above post, I decided on an Aopen 19" LCD instead due to the pricing. It still comes with a 3-3-3 year warranty which is great, especially for the back-light warranty

Yup, the Viewsonic is indeed a little bit more expensive than normal. But when my girlfriend insists on us buying one to replace "that nasty lump of a CRT" (her words) I can't really object. 8)
Nope, if I had a sugar mama like that I wouldn't object neither
lol nice, breaking the bank to please a woman
I had to pick up a Thermaltake Silent PurePower 480W PSU last week to replace my aging Enermax 350W.

Um, I bought another SCSI to IDE adapter for my ESX test box and 2GB of RAM.
heh, VERY nice... *hate* lol
I picked up my ATI X850XT a couple months ago, and then had to grab a SATA 250GB HD to replace my dual 80 IDE setup kept running low on space. Haven't put any money into my pc lately, broke the bank paying for my Toshiba Satellite A70 laptop for school and (limited) mobile play .

Does a Notebook PC count? (Neo Q-Note Endura 350SL w/ Intel Celeron 1.3GHz, 256MB SDRAM, 40GB Hard Disk, Sis M661MX + SiS 963L Chipset, 15" TFT Display, Windows XP Home)
Sure why shouldn't notebooks count
GeForce 6600 GT, 256 MB, AGP 8x.
Wilhelm, what did you upgrade from? and let me know how that card runs! It is on my list of possible cards to get this summer
OP
Haven't posted in the thread for quite a long while....but you can expect some posts sometime in the future because I plan to build a new computer at the end of this year!
I did get a free Thinpad P166 laptop from work this week. Plan to use it for DosBox compatibility testing.

I upgraded from NVIDIA GeForce4 MX4000, so I must say it was GIGANTIC leap from it.

It runs quite good!
Guild Wars, Half Life 2 have never looked so beautiful.
Counter-Strike: Source, video stress test
All video options at max.
* Test 1#: AA 2x: 67.96fps
* Test 2#: AA none: 70.25fps
Have not jet tested Conflict Global Storm, which came with the card.

Bough a 500GB Western Digital SATA drive and a Nexstar 3 ESATA External Enclosure.
Just need to buy half a dozen more to transition over from all of my 120/200/250gb external USB drives.
Also bought a Western Digital Raptor 160gb SATA for my ol' nforce 2 mobo in preparation for when I build my new computer soon.

I'll be keeping my CRT for as long as it will last because I like using the original resolution so I guess it isn't an issue.

First off, I couldn't edit my post so I have to reply with another one instead
Picked up THIS chassis yesterday for my pimp-daddy gaming rig.
This thing is massive so if you are looking for small, then look someplace else for sure
It comes with all the neat features you would want including BTX conversion and the neccessary air-ducts too.
The thing that got me was the all around look of the chassis and the well ventilated side panels. Hell it comes with a special fan mount bracket on the main side panel for up to 4 120mm fans
They went so far as to create a nice mesh vent slot on the bottom of the chassis as well.
Since the motherboard mounting tray is removable you and supports extended ATX form factors this would be a good chassis for just about anything, I think even a Quad-SLI rig would remain very cool in this case

One firewire cable and one USB mouse.
