lol...would you believe that the same week that the Dragon 2 board was released, newegg.com was sold out of:

The motherboard (Soyo SY-P4I875P DRAGON 2 Platinum Edition)
The Corsair memory I was going to buy (XMS-series, low-latency PC3200 184-pin DDR 512Mb x2; 1Gb)
800Mhz FSB Intel P4 socket-478 2.8GHz processors

Seems that people were very anxious to get this board...lol..

Logitech does sell wireless optical mice. Try Bestbuy or Wal-Mart.

i looked @ logitech's site a few days ago but i couldint find the mouse i wanted. i just want a plain mouse with extra buttons (like intellimouse optical). im not into those "ergonomic" mouses. i dont like them, thats y i dont like the intellimouse explorer. maby i missed a mouse that i like on logitechs site bit so far i didnt. im gonna get an area51m some time thats far away and i want a wireless keybrd and mouse to go w/ it for lan parties. sadly, microsoft's new keyboards r kinda gay, bulky, and non-standard (the 6 keys above the arrow keys are altered...)

i welcome ne suggestions

Yeah, I'm not saying Apple Cinema Displays are cheap, I just meant that they weren't quite as expensive as DADINK thought.

And besides...I'd pay the extra $300 for an Apple flat screen.

I have a new bitch about apple thouse. PC and Apple monitors are the excta same damn thing. All apple monitors have on them are a little apple simble and they look apple like. In my book it not worth paying extra since monitor techology is pretty even across the borards... (miinds you I do like apple monitor on a stick that pretty cool)

Ok my bitch about apple right here. They are making there monitors go USB and they are droping there com port for monitors. Yes I will say it a good idea but it may make it harder for my to buy an appen beceacue a lot of people who may switch over to apple problely own a kick ass monitor (like I will when I buy my lcd one) but because apple computer will not suport a com port for there monitor the Monitor from my PC will be complete uselless...

Do you mean OS/apps, or every program I can think of? Cuz it's basically gonna be what I have now on it, and in combination with the NES-PC, I can probably rip DVDs too.

Uh...they don't use USB. Apple Cinema Displays use ADC ports.
