My old 2.4ghz P4 has twin 17" CRT Viewsonics, and my uberdollar Opteron Quad has twin 17" LCD's. I never use the expensive computer except for long renders because I hate the LCD's. They just don't have the crispness and depth of my CRT's. Over Christmas I plan on revising my graphics cards and swapping out the monitors so I can actually start to use the good system. Leaving it just sit there week in and week out with a dust cover on it is just silly and wasteful.
