Hardy Hardy Har... Me Has A New 19' WS Monitor

my Chrissy present to me.....

Yeah, was out earlier and noticed my fav puter store was open....huh, on Boxing Day??? Well I went in to wish Pat, the owner, a great day and a happy New Year if I didn't get to see him beforehand, etc, etc.

Well, as always, the conversation gravitated towards computers and etc... and the next thing I know I'm walking out with a new ViewSonic 19' LCD monitor for AU$250. I think Pat was just as surprised as I was... he was showing/telling me about this new Gigabyte mobo that'd go perfectly with an Intel Core Duo I've had my eye on for a while now... and the next thing he knows is that I'm handing over the cash for the monitor... no warning or indication I was even interested....

OK, so it was an impulse buy, but I'm as happy as a hog in muck with my purchase and just had to come crow about it here cos I felt like so much crap yesterday.

Oh, and before anyone says: "Why didn't you get a bigger one?"...my eyes are real close together and I wouldn't be able to see both sides of the screen...'specially when I gits meself all cross eyed on the Playboy site.

Nah, truth is, a larger one wouldn't fit in the pigeon hole on my desk, not with my speakers as well, so the 19" is perfect and just what I wanted... and my regular 19" Samsung is now hooked up to another rig I just finished assembling from mostly old parts, just got to load XP Home and Ubuntu on it and I have me a spare to play with.

Well that just about covers it for now, so see ya's 'round like a cartwheel.

Whatcha mean...too damned sanitary!!! The desktop hasn't been polished since yesterday .... and my puter chair hasn't been sanitised/disinfected since before Xmas.

If you can REMEMBER the last time it was desanitized, it's been too recent...lol!

Which Xmas? If you are talking this one, then I agree with SNidely too!

Yep, this Xmas.... and you wouldn't be agreeing with the Snidester about being too darned sanitary if you knew how much curried cabbage I has had over the holidays.

i bet you change your underwear every day, too

Nope... to save on laundry, I wears 'em fer two days... one out the right way, and the other inside out.

***hmmmm, maybe if I hold off on puter parts next payday, maybe I can afford to own more than two pairs of jockeys****

Oh, and they're not in/out boxes...those drawers are where I keep my A4 printer paper.

Oh, and for those of you who think I'm too damned sanitary... I dropped some cookie crumbs in my keyboard and I think I'm gonna leave 'em there.

Nope, they're the ones I changed my mind about leaving out for Santa. I figured these cookies are mine... the fat ol' bastard has a much bigger waistline than me, and I like choc-chip as much, if not more than he does.

I haven't quite finished setting things up the way I want them... and with more lights on the agenda, it should be quite a night sight with the main room lights turned off. I will post some more pics when I've got it all done.

are we doing bragging rights???

and I just bought a new 24" widescreen Sceptre Naga so i'm trying to figure how I'm going to fit it in

I have enough trouble keeping an eye on one screen - with this setup I would never know for sure what was going on where.

This is a lot of graphics going on though...looks very impressive!

Oi, that's nothing to brag about.... I could have brought home 4 or 5 of those cardboard monitors they use for advertising as well... oh, and while I was at it, a couple of those cardboard towers to really set it all off.

And the desk... call that a desk??? Nah, if I were trying to impress people with my cardboard cutouts like that, at least I'd have a proper desk to show 'em off on. I mean, there's no point bragging if yer don't go the whole hog, ya know. If I were you, I'd be off down to the nearest furniture store and checking to see if they have any cardboard display desks I could have to complete the picture.

Seriously, tho...looks like you got some nice gear there...with plenty of screen real estate to keep things interesting.

Snowball. We don't mind you having a big monitor... but, that 3072x2034 pic is a real bitch...

LOL, no kidding.

Nice desk...but wow I thought I had a cable mess (which is why I like my massive desk, hides all those cables).

Mine.

Looks like we have the same speakers Goo, but your links don't work (only goes to photobucket home page).

My decision to go no larger than 19" has been vindicated... last night I was looking at a centerfold who was spread out on a sheepskin rug, and if had I gone with the 22" I'd have had difficulty telling if her toenail polish matched her eyes.
