Monitor.

Go with an 18"-22" Flat panel.
Dont buy it premade.

Buy the raw LCD,inverter, and controller..and you will save 1,000's.

Hey if you are building your computer yourself, why not build your monitor yourself too

u r gonna spend $10,000 on a home pc?

you're not serious.... tell me that was a typo

Ten Thousand on a PC???

Allow me to introduce you to the Sun Ultra 250 with Win32 PCI processor board.

Is that USD or Pesos??

 

[guards]

Get Win xp instead of ME

10K has to be a typo

I can put together an amazing system for 2K and even that is a bit much - more like 1700

if you spend 10K, then you are getting server class shit and it is overkill - at that point you will see no better dvd watching or gameplay - you are just dealing with connections better...

 

[Lao Tzu]

you're only spending about $1200-$2000 from what i see. i don't see how you can spend 10k on a computer, unless it is dipped in gold beforehand.


tell you what, i'll do you a favor & sell you my computer for $1500. can you spell compaq presario 5070? how about amd k6-3? top o the line shit my boy.

 

[supersizeme]

you should have around $8K left over at that. spend $7,900 on hooker, drugs, and alcohol. the rest you can just waste.

for 10k does the computer jack you off while looking at porn
