I use my pc from an armchair with my 20" widescreen LCD moniter and my 19" tube moniter as well. I keep one keyboard on a tv table and the other on the keyboard tray. I also use a small particle board on my lap for a flight stick base and mouse board. I've never seen a 32" LCD moniter, but i was looking at a 26" the other day that i'd love to have. :P

Sort of. Basically the time between the input and the output, so to speak. When you move the joystick, how long will it take to display your movement on the screen accordingly? Of course, it'd be a split second, but enough of a lag to notice?

And anyway:

It is NOT upgradeable.


Renders it pretty much pointless then. It's outdated as it is.
