I understand if you never want to upgrade your desktop computer because everything works for you – even if it is slow, but let’s look at that huge screen on your desk! If you are still using a large monitor, commonly referred to as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), it is time that you do yourself a favor and pitch it!
You can purchase a nice 19-20 inch flat panel screen (Flat panel screens include plasma, LCD and LED and are normally about 5 inches deep). They also weigh considerable less than the CRT monitor that has taken over most of your desk. The cost for a decent monitor can range in price, but if you watch sales, you can grab a decent flat panel screen for $100 - $130.
Caution – be careful when removing the CRT monitor, as they are extremely heavy. They must also be disposed of at an electronics dump. (Check your local paper for information).
When you turn on your new flat panel screen – you will be amazed at the color, how light it was and how much more of your desk you have recouped!
I understand that you may not want to spend the money, but look at it as an investment. Not only are you upgrading your equipment, but with this purchase you gained a little “real estate” - even if it was just on your desk.
