Is not the size that matters, its how you use it!

Seriously though, I have 1 computer I use for homework, skype and buisness, and another I use for more fun stuff.
The 14" LCD is for the "work" computer. My other one is plugged into the 32" HDTV in my living room. Thats not changing, no matter what my electric bill is

EDIT:Although that 19" costs only a little more than what I was going to pay at amazon.....I think you just boosted some buisness for Newegg Ironduke, thanks!

I've spent $3023.02 there since Oct 2, 2003. Best online store for computer hardware, imho. Sometimes their prices can be slightly beat, but their fast shipping and exceptional service more than makes up for it. They have the widest variety, most complete specifications of any online hardware store, and the reviews are very helpful in determining what to buy, getting the best bang for the buck.

Newegg rules!

I am afraid to find out exactly how much I've spent there.

It's about 30 miles from me. I get my stuff the next day if I place my order before 11am.

The record was I got my order in 25 hours, placing order at 4pm.

Sake how about some solar panels for your house? I believe you can still write those off on your taxes. They generate the greatest amount of power when you need it the most (summer days). Any extra generated from the panels will go back to the grid and roll your meter backward.

LOL, yeah. If all goes well, I should be ready to buy a house in 2 years. Then I plan on installing a few panels to lower my electric bill, And I will definately look into the tax write off thingy. Thanks dude,

I was thrilled...until I got a letter in the mail with my latest bill explaining that the company raised thier rates! Same power usage, but my bill is close to $90.

If you want to look at it from a glass half-full perspective, you would've been paying $140 month if you hadn't done everything you did.
