Monitor

Out of all the items listed, the monitor will probably cost you the most (if you buy it brand new). There isn't much I can really recommend for monitors, except make sure you get something with a warranty. I've lost several monitors over the years (thanks to the Arizona heat), and it's really no fun.

If you really want to get fancy (and spend allot more money) you can get the LCD monitors.

Also, if you're like me and you have your eyes glued to your computer monitor for long periods of time, consider getting a glare filter. These run for about 15 to 40 dollars. If you still have good eyesight, then I suggest you get one of these before you go blind ;-)
