"4 USB ports, 9 in 2 card reader."

 

Sounds like more stuff to go wrong with it?

 

Why not just buy a USB hub and a card reader for less than 75 bux instead if your running short of USB ports?

 

I have 3, dual monitor,PC set ups (Yes..that "Six" CRT's, not including the extra ones in the closet...lol) all lined up and networked.

I have USB hubs connected to all of them, (I'm not gunna count right now but that's at least 20 USB ports). 7 fire-wire ports ,Card readers on 2 of the boxes, as well as on two of my printers.

Do I really need more on my monitors too?... If one of my USB ports goes belly up,I just go buy a new one.

 

I just don't see the joy in those extra bells and whistles on my monitors, unless perhaps,I' was REALLYcrunched for desk space or my office is in my closet or something.

 

My biggest beef with LCD is the viewing radius..I dislike having to get my line of site "Just Right" just to see what is being displayed. Especially in a multiple monitor set-up.

 

I'll probably always be a CRT guy,my Brother has a huge 21 inch LCD and I simply hate it, but it has been interesting hearing folks pros/cons,and specs in this thread. My main point was that USB ports, and card readers would not be a selling point for me...just seems like more possibility for things to go wrong, and driver conflicts.
