I was pleased with the Asus Eee PC 1000H, and I need another monitor so I ordered the Asus 25.5 monitor, it had good reviews all over.
Not bad for 319.xx ( rebate )

Oh Yeah, I still can't get over the vivid colors. it's better than my plasma tv
It's a TN panel, so it's not as good spec-wise and could have ghosting issues. As long as you know it's a TN panel and are fine with it, then it's a decent panel.

Wow, $310 for that monitor? It was selling for $200 just a week ago... The Samsung is also a little expensive for a TFT panel. I'd say wait and bide your time until another special or pomotion comes along for a monitor.
Tough call about the GPUs, in your situation two 9600GT's might be the better bet even though I don't like dual-GPU setups much. What's your current PSU, that doesn't sound like much of a PSU upgrade.

lol! oopsy! i am converting the amount in Rupees to $$$...it is expensive in $$$ but quite reasonable for us in Rupees cause most of this stuff is like this...
i have the Cooler Master 460W Extreme PSU. Not SLi ready nor is it >80% efficiency thingy! will have to change it and if i go 23" or 24" the 620W or 650W would be the best bet yes?! wot u recommend regarding the LCDs, GPUs n PSUs?!

~600W is about the range I'd recommend, yes. Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, and OCZ's GameXstream series are all brands/models I'd recommend. If you can find a really cheap 9600GT then that's probably going to be the best for your situation, but even a GTX 260 should net better performance.
I can't really recommend LCD's, I gave up trying to keep track of them beyond some of the most well known models. If those are good prices in Rupees, then there's nothing wrong with the monitors that I know of, they should be fine. I just can't tell you how good a deal it is because I obviously only know it in USD. If Dell is available I'd suggest you see how much the Dell S2408 costs to use as a comparison to other monitors.

Yeah, 1920x1080 is definitely going to stress your 9600GT in some games. It shouldn't be to bad though, just turn down a few of the settings and remove most AA.... the larger the screen the less AA you need to use to get the same quality image anyway. Hope ya enjoy your new monitor!

A little hint for cleaning card edge connectors...
Rub the gold contacts with a pencil eraser to polish them up then wipe with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol... better than new.
Clean the female connectors (on the motherboard) with a finger nail brush or soft tooth brush dipped in alcohol... be gentle and they too will be better than new.
Most other types of connectors, including pin types, are easily cleaned by dipping them in alcohol and inserting and removing them several times.
Hope that helps....
