Time for a new toy...

One of the aims for this year (2007) is to change out my PC, but firstly I want to change my existing 17" monitor for a larger widescreen model, as this would account for a significant percentage of the new PC price.

Well, today I have ordered my replacment monitor. It's a Black Phillips 20 Widescreen LCD (200WX7EB) which runs at a native resolution of 1680x1050. This gives me an extra 400 pixels on the width, whilst maintaining almost the same vertical screen height/resolution.

It has been ordered from Dabs Direct, taking advantage of the newly introduced BT Employee discount, for the grand total of £235 inc VAT. I paid an extra £5 for next day evening delivery, so it should arrive Wednesday 10th
