I have a 21" primray display and a 19" secondary display. So...no...not really that jealous. I don't understand why people use the laptop (the smallest display) as their primary when they can use the monitor which is bigger as their primary.

That depends on your setup. If you want to watch movies/series while doing other stuff you'd be better off using your laptop monitor as primary with the "other stuff" and the ext. monitor as secondary with the movie. My previous setup (back when I had a desktop before it died), was a 23" monitor as primary and a 19" as secondary.

Yes, I still had a VHS player, get on my level.
And Windows XP, my favourite OS.

I still have that white old computer, but the parts in it are fried. I've been thinking about buying new hardware and placing them in that case. That project died though, but I did put some decent hardware that I had lying around here in it, and what I got was:

An "old PC" running Crysis. No cooling problem at all though.
