    A nice 14inches would be nice :arf:
    More like a 37" acl 1080p hang on the wall using HDMI (that's my setup :p)

    My new computer doubles as an IMAX home theatre. Does yours?

    Except you'd need more than 1080p on a 50 inch TV to be able to only see super detail.

    Wait wait wait.

    What Intel Quad Core runs 2.6 GHz?

    You sure it's not the AMD Phenom 9950 or Phenom II 810?

    Intel's Quads only come in 2.66 GHz variety, such as the Q94XX series and the Xeon X33xx series.

    Sure ???
    on a 37 inch, I can clearly read the text even if I'm on my couch (~10 feets away)
    It's crisp like my real 19" PC monitor.

    That's good and all, but two things.

    1) I would suggest getting AMD instead, especially if you're going for a gaming computer.
    2) You didn't include the graphic card, but I would suggest getting a Geforce 8600 GT or GTS.

    or if you have the money to get a better graphics card, go for something like at least 9400 lol crazy

    Yeah, if you want to indulge and you have lots of cash, get something from the 9 series or even the GTX 200.

    But the best card right now for the price is the 8600, it can run pretty much anything right now.
