[ QUOTE ] I'm still on the ancient CRTs because they do me just fine your eyes are paying a price for your cheapness [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] yah ive heard this but my refresh rate on my monitors is really good. i made sure of it when i purchased them because i didnt want eye problems. do crts really create eye problems if they have good refresh rates? [/ QUOTE ] I had a pimp CRT with a really high refresh rate, and it was night and day compared to my older crappy 60hz CRT in terms of how my eyes felt. A flat panel is night and day compared to that pimp CRT. There really is a world of difference, I cant imagine having to look at a CRT (even a really good one) anymore.

Re: My unusual computer setup
Not saying that the gamepad wouldn't work, but have you considered a trackball? moving from a mouse to a trackball put a stop to my wrist problems. I have a Microsoft model where you control the ball with your thumb (can't remember the exact modelname). Highly recommended.

Re: My unusual computer setup
Agreed, I can't imagine using a setup like that because of the neck strain it would cause me. I have a 19" crt and 20" lcd on my desk, and it sometimes feels awkward just turning my head the 10 to 20 degrees it takes to shift my focus from screen one to screen two. (The lcd is sitting straight in front of me and the crt right next to it, tilted towards me.)

Re: My unusual computer setup
jba and/or OP,
Is there a particular brand or style of cart that you recommend for the monitor? -web (I'm a recliner player also, but I've just used my laptop's small monitor so far. My 2001fp should arrive in the next few days, and I don't want to have to leave my comfy chair to play poker.)
