Dwaine,
How are things in 'Fot Wuth' these days? Man, I would do some free NMR for
some real Texas bar-be-cue, like from Spring Creek... but I digress!
I just saw the following yesterday, and it looks very timely for you:
"Leonardo Fei notes SGI's sale on "remanufactured" units of its big 1600SW LCD
monitor: "Silicon Graphics is having a blowout sale of remanufactured
quantities of its 1600SW (SuperWide) LCD monitor. At 17.3" diagonal, it's not
as big as the Apple Cinema Display, but its technical specs look very cool and
it costs a heck of a lot less: $1375 - including the necessary Mac interface
card. Current shipping estimates for the batch that is being refurbished now is
towards the end of April. And if you really cannot live with your randomly
assigned defects when it shows up (they are precisely described on their
website), you can always return it within [30] days. I sure ordered one!" "
The relevant web address is:

Hope this helps!
Dan (formerly of Texas!)
