Always compare with the Fry's Electronics bargain bin and/or Costco (if you're a member). Read the reviews on Newegg to examine the quality of the monitor.

We do a little trolling

I think newegg is good. I use them for other computer parts. I dunno if their monitors are good. I've never been much for graphics, so I've just used any old monitor.

For a low cost LCD, I recommend this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236059

Looks fine, as long as you want widescreen.

Hm, I remember the time when my 21" LCD cost more than my PC, which was a bit over $1,000.

Its 200$ DTBK, with free shipping. For an LCD of that size, that is very cheap.

Good deal? Definitely. But for a budget build the 23" is totally unneeded :P

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
