It depends what you are going to use it for.

a) Just for poker
Get the cheapest one. a dell 3007 should be well under $1k, imo

b) for watching DVDs (ie, not high-def)
The Dell 3008 and Gateway one have impressive internal video processors which can upscale stuff well

c) for watching PC content
all much of a muchness, 'cause your video card will upscale everything anyway

d) for long term compatibility
a Dell 3008 has display port, which is likely to be handy in the future


p.s. Rumour has it that the Dell 3008 had some technical problem, and distribution was interrupted, so it may be difficult to obtain.

Nice, thanks! Pretty much just for poker and web surfing. Is the Dell only available via the Dell website? I like to be able to get stuff from newegg or amazon since I can get gift cards from Stars.

I am looking to get a trackball mouse b/c I think I am starting to get CTS. I remember a lot of ppl mentioned the logitech MX revolution, is that considered the best? I don't want to spend more than $100.

You may find an external laptop video card may give you what you want here.

Darin,

Buy the monitor from your preferred supplier, and email a copy of the receipt to vip@pokerstars.com. They'll reimburse you for it out of FPPs as part of the concierge service.

I've bought a variety of monitors for fine off ebay, and http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/fo...play.php?f=102 has also had 30" monitors for sale reguarly.

I think the Logitech MX Rev is the best mouse but it's not a trackball. I just bought this for cheap and it seems good.

I'm also get CTS and use both and try and relieve some strain.
07-08-2008 , 08:44 PM
the mx rev is just as good as a trackball to reduce CTS then? I just figured not having to physically move the mouse would be better on ure wrist than a regular optical mouse.

No, the mx rev still functions as a regular mouse but upgraded with all those fancy buttons/fast scrolling ability.

This is what you're looking for:

sippin

Obviously your roommate had a crush on you and thought you would eventually come back to him and drop the gf.

Seriously if he was/is a good friend sit down and talk it out, hopefully he was just drunk and pissed that he has to move out.

vers im w/ jp. bhokie, id like that to be the case, his current fb status says he's getting royally screwed over and wishes there was less scumbags in the world. i wish there were less grown men who are brought to tears multiple times after being told they need to move out.
07-08-2008 , 09:16 PM
if you don't have cash handy, you can email vip@pokerstars.com and ask them to purchase it for you and they will deduct the FPP's from your account.
07-08-2008 , 09:18 PM
sippin, you need to explain his super annoying living habits. Did you confront him in the past about them? I'd be pretty pissed if somebody kicked me out for being annoying especially if it's the first I had heard about these annoying habits.. I hope you didn't kick him out because you found a better friend that wanted to move in.
07-08-2008 , 09:34 PM
dd, i did multiple times, and he'd either be like ya sure, while still doing it no matter how many times i told him, OR he'd just get incredibly pissy and not talk to me for the rest of the day even though i'd tell him in a really calm and non-offensive way. when i booted him i told him it was b/c i had promised my other friend i'd live with him if we ever lived in the same place and it worked out that he's moving to this city now, because if i told him i'm kicking him out because he's an annoying piece of **** and a crappy dude i'd be concerned for his life and my safety. had my other friend not be moving in i'd have moved out myself.

I got kicked out of my apartment less than 24 hours ago, and I can say that it sucks a lot

I got this one refurbished off Amazon for $899:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...5579940&sr=8-2

Free shipping and I ordered it on a Tues. night, got it on Thu. It was listed as refurbised when I bought it, now it says used, like new. Same company though.

This is what you're looking for:

QFT, but you need one for left handed play too, to mix things up. I use the ball in my right hand and standard optical in my left (simultaneously).

I got a refurbished HP 30" on EBay for $800+$60 for shipping. I love it.

Looks like the prices are dropping even lower than that now:
