LCD monitors cost more (for now). Panel beaters [The Register]

Bummer. I was planning on getting an LCD for my new system. My Dad beat me to it two years ago now when he bought an LCD with his desktop system. I think maybe what I'll do is wait a bit and then get a projector for my second monitor instead. The price point is about the same, and I'll then be able to alternate between running my main screen as something HUGE and either running a movie or playing games. Combine that with a good surround sound system and I may never leave the office! I blame Jerry for mentioning this.
