Everybody seems to be upgrading these days. I have to wait 4 friggin' weeks for my new system to arrive

Perhaps that's why the prices have gone up ?

If your talking long term, I still remember an 'average' computer going for about $2500 (in local currency)...

What monitor should i go for? I take it that CRT's and LCD's Connect to the base unit using the same type of connection? (DVI, VGA (HD-15))? I ask cus i'd prefer the CRT as it would fit on the desk better (the bit for the monitor on the desk slants down and LCD's just slide off)

I still prefer CRT, allthough newer TFT (LCD ?) monitors are getting better, and they come in delicious widescreen.

But do they even sell CRT monitors anymore ?

I didn't have time to read the whole thread, but ditch AMD and go for the Intel Core 2 Duo.
