Looks a nice spec sheet, you'll love the monitor. I've had mine since March and I still love it!

That's a nic spec, Thermaltake. Sadly the monitor takes it 80 over budget. Where might the money be saved?

EDIT: How about a Hyundai ImageQuest N91W 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black

BOth are nice 19" widescreen monitors and fit more nicely in the budget.
