Covet

I'm generally not one to let my technolust drive my purchases.

I've got a 1.4ghz PC, and that's just fine.

Ancient ATI 128 Graphics board? Works for me.

15" 1024x768 monitor...Hang on a minute.

I've been working on an LCD generously bartered from my old place of work, since we live on the 3rd floor, right next to the power lines, and their 60Hz magnetic interference, which screws up all CRTs. The problem is, this thing is such a postage stamp that I'm limited to working in 1024, where I can't see anything but the window I'm working on, and forget doing anything like art or video editing on it. I can't see the images under my tools!

Now I find myself drooling over this:
The Ultimate LCD : Samsung's 240T 24 Inch Wide-screen Display

24 inches of 1900 x 1200 wide-screen bliss. Wow.

I'm going to need to get myself a "decent but fairly cheap" flatpanel pretty soon, or I might do something rash... Hmm... Maybe just another 15" for dual monitor.
