OK Everyone,

I learned something valuable while running the new CO 4.5. LOL, I need a new desktop. I knew this day would come, but it seems like it finally has. The question is - excluding Mac (which I cannot afford to upgrade all my software, etc), what would you buy?

Part II:
Who is making the best LCD monitors these days? I figure it is time to finally upgrade my CRT (which has been great...just a bit small).
