It's just a 17" TFT monitor that does 1028x1024, so it's a step down from the 22" CRT I had back home in Sweden, though a 17" TFT is comparable to a 19" CRT. I had a hard time to decide between this one or a more than twice as expensive 20" TFT that could do 1600x1200. Since I had no experience with TFTs and didn't know if it would be good for gaming (which I can say now though that it is) and all that I wasn't quite prepared to spend too much money on something I'd maybe have to replace at some point. So I thought it was best to buy the cheaper one, and in case I grow out of this one I can buy a larger one (which hopefully is cheaper by then) and use this one as a secondary monitor in a dual setup.

As for the soundcard, I don't have any soundcard yet. I'm using the integrated sound on the mobo. It's good enough for me right now.

OK...

Nice config... and the screen looks good...
And the soundcard ? No Audigy 2 Platinum ?
You need a good 5.1 system for DOOM and the other big upcoming titles to be afraid from all sides :-)

If there are anymore engineering samples lying around, feel free to send one to me

GianT,
no, I'm in developer relations.

Da3dalus,
well, it's one of the spare engineering samples. It was probably just laying around anyway, so it's better put it to use.

Seriously though, nice rig
