That's a good size.... make sure you get the B I G G E S T monitor you 'can't' afford... You'll be glad you went into debt for it.. And RAM is the most important.. if you use an OS 2000, or Xp it will handle all the ram you can feed it [I'd suggest 1000MB (1 gig)]... where 98, or ME will not be able to manage much over 256...
