Yup I'm using one here. Very nice screen. I brought a stand for it last week. So, it would go up and down, tilt, and go sideways lol. Something, the original didnt do.

780983 2009-06-11 01:27:00 G6, those arent the new i7 based Xeons are they?..ESX4 has those performing 30% more IOPS over ESX3 & 2008 Hyper-V!!....I guess with only 1 box you dont need vmotion!, however I would be tempted to use ESX4i instead of Hyper-V, I use Hyper-V as a desktop so I can run local VM's for testing, and TBH, it isnt a patch on ESX.

Yeah G6's are very new - the model I've opted for is kind of in the sweet-spot for price/performance at the moment.

I may end up putting Server 2003 on as the native Host O/S - as you say, Hyper-V isn't that great, and using Server 2008 for running VM's is kind of a waste.

Making my proposal to the owner tomorrow - pretty much a done deal, just have to argue the finer points.

I'm trying to come up with a simple way to explain virtualization to someone with NO interest or understanding of IT! ;)

ESXi is free and a great way to utilise all the power in that box. While Hyper-V is a good product, I just feel MS doesn't have the dependability you need in a virtualisation host (can anyone say patching?)....and using core is just too damn hard.

If we're really doing this...
How about 2xDVI, HDMI (with spdif demuxing), Displayport, S-video, Composite, Component (with picture in picture), 6 port USB, full 16.7m colours without dithering, 92% colour gamut with viewing angles like a CRT :D +HP 3 year onsite warranty

Having said that, the PC it is connected to is an Athlon 1800+, 1.5gb DDR, Geforce Ti4200. I benchmarked it a few days ago, the CPU is only slightly faster than a 1.6GHz Atom.

I thought core was supposed to be easy to use? :confused:

Haha....no ****.....I did the 2003 to 2008 network migration training unit, and core was the hardest part. Its ALL CL stuff. There is a 3rd party GUI for installing roles and functions, but thats it......

780988 2009-06-11 05:00:00 @Zapper - It's all about saving. I work as a student after school, and did lots of research into value for money. (My mobo was free :D)

@pcuser - It's all very well saying 1080p 22", but what about the other important specs?

5ms, VGA/DVI, HDCP certified. Had a stuck pixel a week after I bought it. :p
