Dude, chuck that dinosaur out the window and get yourself a nice LCD! Lol, just saying, since your rig looks real nice.

My monitor performs quite well. Video games give nice eye candy. It is quite a huge monitor but it works great.

I just upgraded my processor a few weeks ago. I was using an older Athlon 4600+ Dual-Core and my Phenom II 940 Quad-Core blows it away.
 
I will soon have a 42" LG Plasma screen that will be used as the family tv/by me for my computer screen.

Plasma with a computer? that sounds like a bad idea. If you leave the same image on a plasma to long in the same place it will burn into the screen. It won't surprise me if your task bar or something gets burned in. I have a friend with a Plasma and he plays a lot of Madden football and the scoreboard of the game is burned into his TV. Even with the built in cleaner his TV has it's burned in so bad it wont remove it.
 
That's why i have a 10 minute screensaver. :) the screensaver that old CRT's use... the wavy colours or whatever.

It's got a DVI input.

Even so, no matter what you are doing your taskbar is always in the same place. It only takes about an hour for an image to burn into a Plasma unless you have one with that thing that moves the image around every so often. So if you are on the computer for say 2 hours at a time and your taskbar doesn't move then it might burn in. To be safe I would make the taskbar auto hide, and cut the TV off or turn the channel every 30mins. Most people will tell you not to leave the same image on it for more then 20mins just to be safe.
 
I paid $150 shipped from newegg for my Acer 21.5'' 1920x1080.

BTW, 1680x1050 is considered widescreen....They just aren't 16:9 widescreen's. I would take a 1680x1050 over 1366x768 anyday though, no offense!

I've got my rig hooked up to a Westinghouse 47" LCD. I put it at 1080p for blu-ray, but at my viewing distance I can't actually see text at 1080, so I usually keep it at 720p.:)

LOL. I thought about hooking up my PC to my 42'' TV I have upstairs just to game on it for a day. Probably would be sweet.
