Egad!

It almost makes me want to go Linux...I hear the Ubuntu distro is pretty easy on noobs.

Good thing I have SP2, I guess.

Not recommending anyone get one. I'm merely displaying the fact that mac owners come with a happy face pre-installed.

There is, however, this.

Well... if we wanna make it tiny... and not run MacOS, then there's this, this, or even this (all of which will run linux or windows)

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting a new monitor for the Windoze box, but then I thought.... Wouldn't I like to upgrade my Mac as well?

Well, at this price, I can afford to do both, and keep my old mac as well. Just gotta make that monitor run two channels and I'm golden.

If your monitor won't do dual inputs... there are those that do.

My monitor (21" trinitron) has a button on the front and two VGA inputs on the back. Of course, it also takes up the whole damn desk.

I picked up one of these (I got it for about half the price a Fry's) They've got them in USB with DVI as well.

I just bought the USB version of the Belkin you posted at CompUSA last night. I didn't see a DVI version though. I'd rather have that as my new PC has dual DVI and right now one monitor is great and the other ain't. Can you post a link to the USB/DVI version? Thanks.
