good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
card--no game)?
\_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when

\_ How much money are you willing to spend, and how good do you
really need it to be good? Are you willing to pay $900 for the

1/2 the cost of an Apple LED Cinema Display 24, it has very rich
colors and is super bright. However, it is HUGE. It's about 5 inches
