timo - the 32" in my sig is going into a different room to be used as a television set. I would of kept it but the resolution is horrible (1024x768) so I got the kds (already received) and I am super happy with it. I have found that lcd tv's with VGA and DVI inputs sometimes are restricted to certain resolutions, making them well, sorta useless, which is the case with this. I will post pics once I get the items tomorrow and assemble them. I am off from school for spring break this entire week and will be ready to build the minute UPS arrives.

I have also ordered 2 gigs of ADATA ram and a HIS X1650 pro 512mb 4x/8x to upgrade an older comp in the house running a p4 2.8 on a 478 I hope it works out well.
