I have been lusting after a Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW 24-inch Wide Aspect Flat Panel LCD Monitor with Height Adjustable Stand for about a month now. I have been visiting the Dell.ca site every other day to look at the pictures and read over the specs. Every time though, I get to the end of the page and see that $1199 price tag + tax and a little piece of me dies.

So for the past two weeks I have been trying to work together some extra funds to be able to afford one. I put my old motherboard and video card on eBay (currently going for $71 and $55 respectively with 1 day to go). I put my two 19″ CRT monitors on usedcalgary.com. And I have modded 3 Xboxes adding another $90 to my piggy bank. Still though, the thought of plopping down almost double what my TV cost for a monitor just hurts a little bit.

I’ll keep my eye on it though and hope one day the price drops.
