man prices are loopy tunes now... the drop recently is staggering... oversupply I suppose - 1/4 gig (256mb) of 133 sdram now i seen today at 33 quid!!!!! - 1.3 athalons chips at 130 quid, dual matrox at 60 quid, LCD 15"'s at 350 quid with 3 year replace on-site warranty... man I'm real tempted to dump the hardware and go to VST & REASON with two flat screens and a rack add-on bolted to the pc with two Hoontech 8 x i/o racks for plumbing in the outboard rack/mic-pre, supernova, wavestation etc plus master keyboard. Nice & compact, quiet, eye-freindly... blimey!!.. an athalon with 2 flat screens all in for around 1100 quid!!.. just add audio i/o & s/w

K. you were right. According to the PC scuttlebutt info lately, PC sales are slowing down globally, a combination of sales glut and the fact that most people (ie non-musicians) are starting to realise that an Athlon 1.2 ghz/256 ram/40 gb HD etc etc is more power than they probably need to write a Word .doc.

I can get 15" TFT LCD for �199+VAT (www.insight.com/uk). Apparently they have overmade the LCD screens in Taiwan and the price drop is due to the lack of uptake on them. No wonder, looking at the last years worth of prices.
