wow 1600 bucks you can make a badass desktop… BTW why can’t you build one … its really really easy… 1. what do you mean your laptop died… I’m sure i can fix it 2. do you have any preference to intel or amd? And on another note… I think you should have a monitor around the 1600 X 1200 resolution if you are going to be using photoshop… much more clearer and probably better suited for you so that gives you choices of [ultrasharp 2407 for 799 resolution is 1920X1200](http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-4335) you can easily find rebates on this … and get it down to about 600 bucks shipped [2007 dell 1600X1200 for 381 bucks](http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-4687) probably get it for 300 shipped ---

Dell XPS [http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/cto\_xpsdt\_410?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs](http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/cto_xpsdt_410?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs) The one on the left “media guru”. Thats alot of firepower for the office,sure you could build a monster for $1600 but I think the dell isnt too bad for the price.Search around for some dell coupon codes so you can fit another monitor into the $1600 budget. ---
