another poker birthday present
Dell’s trying to get rid of these 2100FP’s, man. There’s a bunch of coupons you can stack on top of each other to get them for $381, shipped, as long as you don’t live in a communist state that charges sales tax on Dell stuff. (Like I do.)
I pulled $400 out of online poker to do it. Well worth it, I think, and if it all goes to crap tomorrow, then at least I got a sweet monitor out of the deal. I was actually tapping on the door of moving up to $2/$4 limit, but didn’t feel comfortable, so staying at $1/$2 for a while will be good for me.
For those not aware, the 2100FP is the monitor for the poker kids that hang out on 2+2 forums. It’s a 1600×1200 display, so for as long as there are 800×600 poker clients, you’ll be able to fit four of whatever tables you like with no overlap. (I four-tabled at 1280×1024, and actually found overlap sort of useful, since screens pop up anyway when they need attention, but your results may very. I know many good poker players who couldn’t or wouldn’t multi-table in a million years.)
