Sup Sharky Community

My name is William and I'm glad I found this community.

I have been on this site for over a year and never been in the forums doh lol. I usually come from IGN Voodoo extreme 2 a review or guide from a link of hardware of the day

type links.
I clicked the forum link on Saturday and decided to do a quick 2 day review and see what kind of environment this place is. I like the way almost everyone is willing to help

and give good advice some forums you go to it's like why have a forum? all you do is make the guy or girl feel horrible when they ask a question .

A little about myself.
Just turned 26 a few months back was really a baseball player until a few years back when my arm said nope you are done!. Went to tech college right after the news sense

computers and graphics has always been my second love for the LAN admin program 3 course "A+ Net + CCNA" earned my A+ and network + cert .Right now working on security cert which I will take at the end of September ,my reward for passing to myself is HALO 3 so wish me luck . After that going to finish and get the last cert from my LAN admin program ccna. I waited for that exam because I wanted some hands on job experience and be able to talk to the Lan admins where my job would be . I work now for the

D.O.D "Department of defense" Army- Mostly the job is remote tech support and deals a lot with exchange and active dir accounts using PKI technolgy. And do digital canvas paintings on the side for people special occasions such as weddings kids sports photos etc.

I'm a real coo laid back guy who likes to have a plan for everything even when I game i hate just running around I want to be working on something no matter how little or big

just some kind of plan I will take a bullet for someone to get the objective done .Example in socom on the ps3 I would take the top 4 players names and put them in a bucket and draw randomly there name and for those next few rounds my mission was to save them from blindside fire whats crazy is when you don't look for the enemy but try and protect someone else you get a lot more kills lol. Just started playing pc shooters and coming from a ps2/ xbox 360 world woah I have alot to

learn so any of you who are great at mouse shooting tips and first person shooters feel free to hit me up.

I also like to workout with my games but not dance revolution lol. No I put my weight set and bench near my entertainment center and whenever I die depending on how I die thats how many reps I need to do. This also is what I do for my daily push-ups sit-ups. Have ya ever had to take a shower after gaming lol It makes it fun and also you kind of have no stress about when ya die. Now respawn games this doesn't work to well except for you can do the reps for how many times you died during the wait room etc.

I'm also a tech who knows im just in the begin stages of learning I respect those who have more time but more important more knowledge or even knowledge I don't have yet. I just try and learn 5 new things each day put the word or process on a flashcard and then review those cards throughout the week to build it in my memory.


My first question for you guys and ladies is I'm looking for a all around LCD Monitor to be able to

Play: First person shooters
Graphics: Graphic Design I use Adobe Cs3/Painter and Sometimes Maya or 3dmax for certain backgrounds needed
Dvd Watching: Love to catch up on some movies here and there with the videostore pass
Xbox 360 : Be able to hook my 360 and soon ps3 up
Tv watch : This is least of my concerns but would still like the option I have Digital hd cable

Price range $500-$600 Willing to go as high as 1,000 but would like to save the money for the system I'm building graphics card

Sorry took so long on the intro in this thread I didn't see a intro sticky but if you have 1 please except my apology. Look forward to all the great advice I'm going to learn here.
