Breaking Rules

It is a well established rule that one should not attempt an upgrade in the middle of a project. I broke that rule and perhaps I'm suffering the fate of doing so. So far I've only installed one of my three main applications (I have several more but Lightwave, Photoshop and DFX+ are the big three): DFX+. Well, it's working but it crashes a lot. 1AM snuck up on me so I didn't get around to installing PS or LW. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow before church. If I can't get it working right I'll just have to put the old drive back in and deal with its quirks. Maybe removing the second graphics card will make it more stable. Aww but having 3 monitors is way cooler than only 2.

I currently have my LCD next to my big Dell monitors. Well, um... The LCD is a lot brighter. The Dells are used and I don't know how old. It's more than likely that they are much dimmer than they should be. I got them cheap, but now I'm thinking I should replace them with new ones. Maybe just one big expensive one... nah. I'll probably go with a couple of 17 inch Samsung LCDs. (~$350) The problem with that option is that I only have one DVI port on my graphics card. The 24-inch Dell monitor that we're getting at work would be a good one to get as well. That one is about $1,199.00 but you kind of only need one. The thing is huge. Ouch. That's a lot of money but it'd be sweet.

LCDs are easier on the eyes than the CRTs.
