cajonezzz · 25th February 2003

Hey all, I just dropped the order for a new dual 867 (actually an old one that'll boot into 9) and now I'm looking for monitors.
the Apple 17" studio looks cool but I'd like to be able to have more angle adjustment....so I'm leaning towards the NEC 1850 e LCD 18".

Found those for 584.00 ea., a couple hundred less than the Apple monitors.

Any other suggestions/brands appreciated.

(if the pic quality on the Apple is that much better I'm not opposed to going that way.....opinions?)

Also ,we need to get about 15 feet from the CPU (in gear closet) to the desk.
My understanding is the pic will suffer after that point but there are boxes that will allow (Geffen, for lots o $$) long cable runs.
we could get by with 15'. Anyone using extensions on a similar rig?
thanks.
