If I can find the desk space I might end up running the two computers with three screens! I could do with the extra processing power. Will let you know sometime towards October.

And yeah, I'd keep the CRT hooked up for dual screen fun! For what it's worth, it's not actually my commission - that link generates revenue for the most excellent DVD Forums. Which, by the way, is a site that's well worth visiting. Let us know what it’s like Andy. And yeah, I’d keep the CRT hooked up for dual screen fun!

With 17% off Amazon was the cheapest and with free delivery so paid £105. Amazing! I'm prepared to wait 1-2 weeks for that - the next cheapest was something like £130 incl delivery. What a bargain! I'm on a 17" 4:3 CRT at present so it will bring some much needed real estate - I might even keep the CRT hooked to my older computer and have 2 running at once. I'm power mad! :) Thanks for the tip.

I won't have them all connected to a 360. I'd buy an army of Mac Minis, and connect those up. Ah, in an ideal world! By aware though - if you're swapping out a 4:3 screen you might drop a few pixels here and there. The native resolution of this screen is almost certainly going to be 1440 x 960. Your 4:3 screen is probably 1280 x 1024. So - and here's the maths bit - you'd be 160 pixels wider, so to speak, but lacking 64 pixels in the height department. All that said, I'd find it hard to go back to a 4:3 screen these days. No, no, no. I won’t have them all connected to a 360.
