Whats it like using a big TV like that as a monitor, im thinking of doing away with my 24" and getting a 42" 1080p tv as monitor.

Not bad actually, I had a 26in but I wanted larger. 30in are like 1000+$, so why not go TV size... I got this 42in 120hz Vizio for 600$, can't beat that.. Btw I use HDMI for Video signal from computer. Only thing I notice is the colors arn't exactly the same when using a PC Monitor. IE: the colors are deeper, it could just be how I have it configured. I watch alot of movies so its color corrected for that.

24" is not big enough? :blink:

Never, im getting bigger come Black Friday heh.

Not if you only have one :p

Sadly my two 24" monitors no longer match - as one died 10 months after purchase and was a discontinued product so they couldn't replace for an identical - they even offered me a refund but nowhere was selling them any more.

I'm mid way through doing a big tidy up today... I should have took pics before I started as it will be quite drastically different (currently my pc is "thrown" on the desk as needed to get working asap at the time, its also a conglomeration of years of parts collated in all manner of ways.... just finished diassembling a keyboard to clean out and now it looks like new - really pleased as the buttons have become softer agin.

I will have to get pics up once done - other tasks mid way done include:

Complete drive clear of old Win7 and fresh install now Windows 7 now released.

Removing hard drives from WD MyBooks - and inserting internally.

Tidying up internal cabling, and also external cabling (getting rid off power cables to by scrapping WD external drive, also moving pc position, and repositioning speakers and subs and everything else.

A tip if anyone has a precious but old and dirty mouse mat they want to give new life to.... I have a "fabric" style one with an image on it, as it was soo filthy I risked cleaning it with Vanish Carpet Cleaning Foam - within a minute it looked almost like new and no colour damage at all! its quite obvious as its light grey colour mostly - or is once moreagain! Its a few years old but looks great again - im so pleased.

just my stuff...

Hp 2009M monitor extended to the asus k60

theres a WD 500GB hard drive there, a maxtor eide 120GB hdd,and a seagate 80GB hdd all are mostly empty. I probably don't have 40GB of data between them all.

Theres my cyber acoustics 2.1 system i think its 50watts max... 30 for the sub and 10 for each side ...

my logitec s510 wireless desktop..

and my ipod touch 8G 2nd gen

and my lg 32inch lcd tv
