Yup...I'd like to keep the computer out of a cabinet for just that reason. I'm hoping to find a good desk that hides wires but doesn't have a PC cabinet.

Been looking at monitors tonight mostly. I'm thinking the Dell sp2309w. I considered the Samsung 2343bwx as well, but the Dell is 2ms response time vs. 5 and the Dell also has HDMI.

I looked at the Samsung 2232bw a while back, which I believe was replaced by the 2253bw, which has now also been replaced, I think by the samsung I'm looking at, but can't confirm that.
