    Hi all, I currently have a 5.1 system with 4x AV123 RS850's, RSC200 and a eD A7S 450 subwoofer. I'm thinking I'm going to make a secondary hi-fi system for my bedroom, and take two of the RS850's to run a 2.1 system. I'll look out for, and get some RS450's to replace my old rears. So...

    Which display to get?

    Display related specs of the build Q9450 ATI 4870 8GB PC-1066 memory Would like to run dual 22''s I think. As awesome as a 26'' is, I can have dual monitors for about the same price.
