I have bought many monitors from Master Repair in Salt Lake City over the last 3 or 4 years. I have used them both in our business as well as personally. My trading station has a couple of Viewsonic 21" G810's that I bought for $475 each. They don't have any image problems that I have seen, only cosmetic case blemishes. I am running them on a NT 4.0 dual monitor setup, using Matrox millenium cards, one PCI and one AGP and am running at 1280 x 1024. For those of you not yet running NT, I believe you should seriously consider it. IMHO anyone that is doing serious trading for real money on a home based, internet connected system should really be running NT as opposed to Win98. My dual monitor setup is rock solid, and without problems. The internet connection runs alot more stable, transfer rates are better than on my other 98 systems and it runs 12-15 hours a day without disconnects, lockup or reboots or crashes. I usually never turn the system off and will go many days without even a reboot. NT is a bit more advanced than 95/98 and just a bit more difficult to manage, but I believe it to be worth it. Dan

One of the system assemblers I'm talking to is trying to get me to use the Enlight Mid tower case he sells in lieu of getting me the Inwin Full tower. He said he would get it for me if I insisted, though he insists the Enlight is a better case from thr assemblers point of view. Every thing I have read about these two cases suggests the opposite. That the InWin is preferable. There are also quite a few people here who have chosen The InWin for that price range case. Aside from going back and rereading previous case discussions, which I intend to to tonite, is there anything current any of you new InWin or Enlight users can add to help me confirm my previous decision to use the INWin ATX. I know bay wise this is more case than I need but I can afford the real estate and I like the added ventilation a large case provides. Clarence
