Actually, LCDs are getting less pricey now, so if you where to make an investment in one, now wouldn't be a bad time. I totally agree that LCDs are more convenient then CRTs, they take up less space, they require less power, and some of them are very nice. I'm going to be building a PC next year, and I'm probably going to stick with a CRT monitor, just because I'll probably get a laptop for college, and that is going to be my space saver. I went to a LAN with 18 computesr - all in my neighbors basement, and we had about 16 CRT monitors in there. Needless to say, we kept blowing the circuit breaker, and we had to wire the whole setup to all 3 floors of his house (he has a split-level). My neighbor had an LCD, and it was hella nice for the LAN situation.
If I had more money, I'd make the LCD investment. I'm probably going to stick it out and wait till my next PC after the one I build next year.
