I apologise if this is slightly OT for uk.comp.homebuilt, but you guys were very helpful last time I asked a question and uk.comp.vendors, whilst the most relevant group seems to receive hardly any traffic.

Power surge killed iiyama 18" TFT, any comments on Dell 20" offer by John Perry
We had a power cut this afternoon, so I switched the power switch off to the study when my PC equipment is and only powered on the ring main after the power was restored. But just my luck that my iiyama 4637 18" TFT packed up over the power outage, so I am using a standby monitor. Anyway, Dell...

Advice please : Athlon2800 or 3200 by seeker
About to replace my PIII 500 with either a 2800 or 3200 system.

It's obviously going to be a massive improvement either way over my old system. If I go for the...
