I've got a frosted glass desk (similar setup to FatCat's - there's a pic somewhere back in this thread:P) and it works real well. Hard to see when it's dirty and washes off real well. Definitely the best desk I've used out of about 4 in my life. As long as you don't have big CRTs I'd heartily recommend one to anyone!

Thanks. I use 2 video cards. Both are GeForce FX5200's. One AGP, which one monitor is plugged into, and the second has the other two plugged in, which is PCI. The whole setup is analogue. I'd say if your going to get any other LCD's go straight for BenQ. BenQ is the company that manufactures dell LCD's.

I don't get good performance on games, because the card I use for games sucks. I'm going to be upgrading it to a 6800 ultra at the end of this month.

Oh okay,

So all i have to do is a buy a pci graphics card? good. Thanks for your help.

IK, what I was talking about is how you wasted the money on those monitors when you could have saved a fortune. I NEVER recommended actually getting anything. I just suggested that IF you got something, DO NOT WASTE THE MONEY ON DELL. ahem, ok?

I am trying to find a desk that will fit both of my CRT monitors without breaking.  My current desk bows in the middle like WhizzKid's since it is made of cheap compressed wood(Nothing against your desk WhizzKid).  I was thinking of getting 2 IKEA Jerkers and making a setup like the guy a few pages back had.  Anybody have any suggestions?  I was wanting to spend less than $500 if possible.

LOL. My desk doesn't bow in the middle, it has a curved front. It is support at the bottom by two metal beams.

Sorry to suggest that. I have a slightly larger desk and 2 large 21" CRTs that put a lot of stress on the wood. Believe me, if that was a bow in your desk mine is much worse. Some days I'm afraid to put my legs under the desk for fear that they might get crushed. I guess that's the price I pay for a cheap desk and large monitors.

grrr... cant ppl stop f***ing with the page layouts by posting large images in their posts :angry:

just use the attachment system. 250k is easily enough for 3x 1024*768 images. just save them to 70% quality and use the attachment system which resizes them nicely!

funcs are kinda un-stylish. however, lotsa the USA cal-i teams swear by them, so long as they are sprayed with a silicon spray. but us euros prefer steelpads understated styling :p

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
