:cool: Agreed
 
What's the point of having a beast of a PC and getting a 20" screen? :rolleyes:

You can get a 22" for a little extra, like one of the Samsungs, which are really good. You lose a bit of sharpness, but you gain in immersion, which makes games even better. Plus, you won't be squinting to read text.
 
This is what I'd do with £1600...

Dunno......

Hasn't there been more stories of probs with the GeiL than the OCZ?

My cooling must surely be quieter with not much compromise on temps

I would prefer the 20" sharpness than the 22" space

Thought GTX was o/kill for the monitor spec

More HDD storgae space on mine

I would argue my case is better

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing yours - that was great too.

I think a certain level of "taste" comes into it too... "one man's meat" and all that....
 
In my view watercooling is just not worth the outlay, therefore with mine you will have a superior performing machine for the same price, which is still very quiet. Plus you WILL appreciate the difference with the 22in screen.
