I figured it out. Thanks though! :)

Earlier today, was just doing regular computer work on Vista and Explorer decided not respond. I had to force it to stop, so I decided to give my computer a reboot. The process got all the way to after the loading bars for Vista, and right before the little circular windows logo appears in the...

*Shrugs* I guess it's just the older ones that had lower than estimated battery life. I stand corrected.

Apple claims the battery life is 22 hours, but in real life, it's definitely less than that like the past iPods. For me, it's not only battery, but other features and supported formats too. The Creative Zen is looking really nice right about now, but iPods definitely have the best user interface.

It's not for me. I don't need a huge touch screen that drains the battery.

My 3G 20gb iPod skips and/or has trouble finishing songs if it's in my pants pocket and I walk too fast. Like everyone else, I'm guessing it's a hard drive issue. I'm still waiting for a 16gb flash based music player to come out, so I can retire my iPod. :(

Bleh, I don't know how it is in the states, but I checked the big Canadian online sites, and couldn't configure a similar system without spending almost $100 more at least.

Yeah, I already mentioned in my original post that the deals don't seem to be on their website. I didn't even know about it until a coworker walked in with a $229 desktop under each arm the other day for the office. Edit: I got P4 631 3.0, 1gig DDR2-667, 7200 250gb, dvd writer, asrock...

This is in Toronto, Canada. A small computer store opened next door to where I work. They have four different desktops all for under $300CDN. They all come with 1gig DDR2-667 ram, a 160gig hard drive, a LG 18x DVD writer, and processors from P4's to C2D's, and some AMD ones that I didn't bother...

Composite video and s-video.

The BenQ FP241W can rotate just fine, I've never used it though.

The FP241W has 1:1.

I decided to play through Starcraft again after all that Starcraft 2 madness. The game only runs in 640x480, and playing on a 1920x1200 monitor was a bit weird at first, but you get use to it. I just had it on aspect with black bars on both side of the image.

It's not true 1080p. It can accept and display the signal, but it's not pixel perfect and is shrunk/cropped to about 1700x1000ish.

What do you mean by everything will mess up? I just know that D-sub and component have two different set of brightness/contrast/etc controls.
