Yes the time has come to complete my setup. I have the dual GHz stock and plan on adding a few things.
First let's start with monitors I am considering. I currently have a pretty good monitor however I want to get something bigger & higher resolution. Also the G3 can use the View Sonic since currently the only screen option for it is an old Apple Color Display. Here are 3 candidates so far (these are in the price range I'm looking at):
-NEC FE950+

-Hitachi CM721FB

-Samsung 900NF
All these are 19" totally flat CRTs. I really want a black or silverish monitor.
Next up is the sound card. I think I'm going with the Audiophile 2496, which can be found at midiman.net. Looks great and has OS X drivers.
Now for the beloved graphics card. I want to pull the GF4 MX because the screen flash problem is annoying and I really wanted a GF4 Ti from the start. Question is which model and which brand. I'm seriously considering the Asus and Gainward Golden Sample. The Gainward has 750 MHz memory I believe and is o/ced right outta the box. The Asus also has slightly higher core and memory clock & should overlock well. However would the jump over a 4400 be huge? Will Gainward or Asus offer Ti 4400 cards that come overclocked? I really want bang for buck and any Ti card should be great. When are the 4200s coming & how much $$$? I have also considered complaining to Apple about the problem and asking for a GF4 Ti card @ BTO price.
Last I want some speakers to add on. I'm looking to spend upwards of $150 so if there are some good 100-150 speakers you know of holla at me.
