Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor - Incoming!

22:02.31 - Thursday 20th January 2005   (Link to This Entry)

I've had a couple of emails over the last day or so to tell me that my last few items are on the way. The monitor has left the US and is meandering over this way as we speak. It's been in the system for a couple of days now and so could theoretically arrive at any time. I've gone for a Dell 2001FP, 20in, 1600x1200 and 16ms - nice. I don't actually have any speakers lined up, but I have the Plantronics .Audio 90 Headset for that.

The mouse and keyboard are coming from PCWorld's online store. I managed to track down possibly the last Logitech Dinovo Bluetooth Cordless Media Desktop v2.0 in the country (PCWorld were out of stock after I ordered it) and even found a promotional code for 5% off, so the whole kit is here for a smidgen under £140 - possibly the cheapest I've seen it in the UK.

One these items arrive I can copy my work over from the laptop and get working properly. Currently the new tower is only used for email and basic browsing because it's limited to 1024x768 by the Compaq v55 I'm using as a display.

And as for the emergency/spare/junk mouse and keyboard - don't get me started.
