RE: LCD Monitors
Assuming your budget allows, I would definately go with a widescreen vs a standard screen. I have a 20" dell lcd (2 years old), great picture, etc. etc., but I've found it just isn't wide enough to get two "large" programs open at once (i.e. two Word documents side by side, two Excel docs, etc.).

It is generally rather cheap (since it is mediocre insulation), but still has good sound deadening capabilities. Try to avoid mylar coated foam, as it will reflect noise, making it more d...
