I think it'd be good! If they were decent machines I wouldn't mind paying a bit
extra to save the hassle. Even just HiraMonitors would save the hassle of
lunking my old 17" around. ^_^

What? No Heretic II?? *sigh sadly* I'd really like a local quick Heretic II
server!! It's THE greatest multiplayer game (well, ok, near the top. Not that
I've had many quick servers to try it on!), and one of the best single-player
games (not much beats HalfLife ^_^).

No server stats online? How busy are the servers usually? When's the peak
times?
