Can't beat a nice 19" CRT, unless you have the money to afford a 19" TFT with decent refresh-rates......although I'll be hard-pushed to afford one that supports 1600x1200!

No worries, kinda made sense to offer some advice considering it's what I do for work!

And I think you killed me more than I killed you in that session, never been a big fan of deathmatch!

I have, errm, 8 fans in mine......two front-mounted in the case, one rear-mounted in the case, one rear-mounted in the power-supply, one down-pointing on the power-supply, one on the graphics card, one on the CPU, one on the motherboard.

It's not quiet, by any stretch of the imagination!
