I always want more disk!!!!
XP...well....hmmm...maybe the disk, and save for monitor with remainder!
What's your present monitor Skamp?
Knowing you're a big smut fan, I chose 19" monitor, so you don't have to scroll to see "everything".

Dude, check out my DVD Collection!
i just bought a 19' at a computer show over the weekend, and even over a 17' i love it, i say go for the monitor, and hey, if you want i can give you xp with the crack (lurch style, um it fell of the back of a truck) lurch
Question is:
What do you need more really?
If you are using a smaller monitor right now, I say 19" or even 21"
I would wait for XP to git its kinks and bugs QA'd by the general public first

aw man.... go for the bigger monitor... i just moved up from a 17" iiyama to a 21" iiyama, and the new monitor is beautiful to work with.... good for porn as well, especially at 1600x1200 or higher
windows xp.... sorry, didn't you mean "windows for ho's"... hmmm... no thanks, i'd wait a year!
Disk space is always good, but unless you're really running out, save up for more next.......
Im not running out of disc space,I just want to get a new HDD for XP so I can keep my 2 other HDD's for my current configuration.
XP is going to cost me $435+ the IBM 60giger $455,and I think 19"monitors are around the $900 dollar mark.Would like to get a 21" but they are around $2000
have a look for a peice of software called xosl .... it's a fab boot manager, and i've even got it to work with nt4 server and rh linux server..... a boot combo apparently impossible to do
Yeah I'm saying go with the monitor! Besides, like Lurch said we can get you the software... we have a lot of trucks and really bumpy roads... shit just falls off all the frigin time!
BeeZer
bob... i am going to have to report you to bill gates army of evil monkeys..... shortly after i report myself
i feel sorry for billy-bob gates....... aw fuckit...who am i trying to kid
the monitor
I'd go for the Monitor, makes a big difference and makes time spent in front of your computer more of a pleasure.
Then, if it were me, I'd save up for the HDD and PM Lurch or BobBeezer
However, if you do insist on buying XP, like the other guys I'd say wait a while, at least until the first service pack has been released. And believe me, there will be a service pack in a few months or so after XP's release
I was gonna get me a 19" Monitor a coupla months ago, settled on a Iyama, but then the car needed fixing big time and work dropped off
oh bad fucking luck flopps..... nothing worse than a car getting in the way of such an important puter purchase.......
I was going to make a comment along the lines of "So, your actually planning to pay for XP
But since everyone has beten me too it i'd advice you to get the monitor. The Iliyama 451(i think thats the model) is the best i've seen and everyone who reviws it seems to like it.

Hey skamp difficult one - if you're running win2k (which I don't think you are?) then definately go for the 19" monitor, as win2K users have least to gain from XP.
If your running win98 that's a closer draw as it's such an unstable OS compared to NT/WIN2K/XP.
Mmmm... difficult - I think I would also go for the monitor, I just love the Real Estate in a large monitor.
Well I dont have any stability problems at all with 98se,so I guess Ill stick with it for a while longer!!Originally posted by Techvillage

Hey skamp - so you going for the monitor?
Glad you happy with Win98
In your situation, I'd prolly say the Monitor... Although I usually rally for the HD Space primarily. I think the monitor would be of more use in the long run.
