New Dell 1905 LCD monitor. Arrived yesterday. :clap Got it for nearly 50% off with coupons from Slickdeals. Looks great - especially compared to my '99 vintage Optiquest 19" CRT. Got a new video card with DVI to go with it.












This reminds me of a ferris wheel...

Very nice lighting on the macro product shots of the electronic innards. Would you care to describe the lighting you used for these shots. It is nicely done.
Nice limited DOF on the first two shots also.

Thanks. The video card (on posterboard) was lit by two umbrella-bounced, optical-slaved Sunpak 383s from left and right triggered by my IR hotshoe unit. Monitor shots were handheld in available (halogen desklamp) light.
