Cheapest Monitor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254018) I've found and it's 149.99 and it seems to of had mixed reviews.

btw...I LOVE your character naming scheme...I think I get a chuckle everytime I see it. :)

I've found some $115-$125 ones but they're all at least 25ms response times, which means uber ghosting and generally not well-suited to gaming. Someone mentioned they'd found some around that price that were working great but I'll be damned if I can find the post.

$150 is about all I can find. Cheaper ones are normally not VESA (not to be confused with vista) VESA compatible. Which means no way to mount them. The stand it comes with is permanently attached.

So if you want to mount these later, make sure their VESA compatible.

19" Widescreen 129.99 after rebate, full price is 169.99 right now, and limit of ONE rebate per customer. SO, have your neighbors send in your rebates for you if you trust them or have a friend at work send them to you. Order them seperately and you are golden.

im assuming youre talking USD.

i purchased mine for $109 AUD each through an online auction website.. ive also purchased as part of a company bulk purchase through wholesalers at a discount. grays are good value for aussies as long as you know what youre looking for.

19" Widescreen 129.99

i would, from personal experience, avoid 19" widescreens if you multibox. widescreens in general stretch your field of vision.

stick to multiple 17" non-widescreens and buy a 7th larger widescreen for non boxing purposes =)

I stack my screen vertically to maximize peripheral vision and number of windows per screen. With 6 monitors, I can get ten characters in with perfect vision on each, and the main screen still having a 20.1 wide dedicated with each of the other chars sending warning messages when needed to the main.
