[QUOTE="pokeman89, post: 910753, member: 121289"] I would buy one from an office. I would never buy a mac from any local school district in my area because I have seen first hand what all of the kids think "fixing" the computer is when they crash (And they crash often). Then of course the school district I am in has no intention of saving electricity, so they just leave the computers running for 5 days straight (They at least shut them of during the weekends) so I have no clue how long the screens would last, which would not be a problem except the school has all iMacs and Macbooks, no separate monitors around, which poses a problem if the screens do die on you. I'm not saying that it's bound to happen, I just do not want to take the chance with that high a risk. I have a 15" Sharp LCD, Really nice, even has TV input so I didn't need to buy a new TV when mine died, I just have to switch inputs. The smaller 15" screens are actually very nice, I just wish they could get higher resolutions sometimes. Some web pages aren't optimized for 1024*768 anymore, and it does pose a minor inconvenience sometimes. I also have a problem every time I upgrade my graphics card from my Dell, because I forget to set the resolution lower and then I get an out of timing error. Also some games do that as well, it gets really annoying because then I can't see anything and have to drag out the old 30lb CRT to fix the problem [/QUOTE]
