Yeah. That monitor has to go.
Looks like a fine monitor to me!
I have a similar ViewSonic tube on my desk.
That monitor has some of the best color reproduction of any monitor you are likely to find that isn't ridiculously expensive. It's the reason that I look at nearly every monitor on the shelf today and say that they look like ass. Including the one I'm using now. I miss my old Viewsonic.
Yeah. Ol' Bessie's a good monitor...that's why my wife is getting it when I get my other comp up and running come tax-money time. She uses the computer for MSN games and a forum or two and that's about it.
I got my Alt Optimus yesterday. Impressions:
- Taking him out of the box the Ram is a lot larger in my hands then it seemed to be. Pretty impressive.
- As stated by others regarding this line, I felt more like I was breaking him as opposed to transforming him my first time. The driver's side door has a hard time staying on during the shift but otherwise is pretty stable. Trying to seperate the way the legs snap into the back of the cab and the frame below the door made me scared I was doing something wrong.
- Once in robot form he's a lot more awesome than I thought he was going to be, I had been planning on leaving him in Ram form prior to recieving but not anymore. The knees are functionally pretty useless but I'm glad they managed to squeeze them in, even if he's too bulky to crouch or anything.
Overall I'm more pleased than I had planned on being, and I crave more of the line. My other expenses are starting to fear for themselves.
Don't forget to extend his knees. I don't think it shows that in the instruction manual. When you do so, I think they come out a little easier if you have the legs bent at a slight angle.
Extending the knees is what made me most fear breaking the Prime model. I think I did weaken the plastic that holds the shins and the upper legs together, but the knees are easier to pull out now so all's good.
No shit. I tried and tried and honest-to-god didn't think it was possible to extend them, I'm honestly kind of wary about attempting to pull that off.Quote:

Alternators are kick-ass, but on every one of them there's always one point that you feel like you're going to snap the thing in 1/2.
