    Lol. let me rephrase that. The Mac that I got was already 2-3 years older than the date that I bought it. It was several older models before the current one when I bought it. So it's pretty old...:rolleyes:

    If I had the desk I wish I had I'd have a 2 or 3 monitor session going.
    Kinda debating on getting an LED monitor next (or two) .

    I built my desk that holds two monitors. Rig is connected to a 32" TV on top of the bar fridge. All LCD, I ain't no greenie needing LED backlights. ;)

    A 27" IPS screen would be nice though...

    Pay went through today Josh, so the card currently has access to a fair bit of cash. :p

    I saw that at a conference last year I think. I doubt it's been released to the public Josh. :p I believe they only had two "working" at that time.

    I saw a few too, but they seemed regular priced to me.

    They'll probably be marked up a bit as they're still considered new tech and you know how vendors like marking up prices on new stuff.
