[QUOTE="quad, post: 15668138, member: 17952"] LOL thanks! It could have been a dual CPU setup though. This should last me a decade. My previous computer worked out fine for 10 years because it had good components back in 2006/7. But it was time to upgrade. I'll post more pics once it is all cleaned up with the LED lights installed. The only main issue with using the TVs as monitors is that they don't interact with the sleep functionality of an operating system. Once the computer tells the screen to turn off the TVs display a lost signal message. I therefore have the screens set to never turn off and a blank screensaver that activates after 10 minutes. However the screens still draw power with the blank screen saver. So we just turn them off manually when not in use. We never turn the computers off ever. The components last longer by just running it 24/7 365 days per year. And in the winter they help heat the room which is needed because there are a lot of windows and the insulation is not good in this part of the house. A secondary issue is the screens are side by side and each remote will turn on / off both screens simultaneously. We have to turn them off pushing the button on the bottom of the screen. But besides these issues the screens are fantastic and so much better than the 27" Samsung 1080p Computer Monitors we had. [/QUOTE]
