Another one joins the reality distortion field

I have ordered a minimac. And a nice flat-panel screen for it.

That is all.

I got the cheapest digital-interfaced 17" flat-panel I could find, which was a UKP200 one from scan.co.uk. Made by Iiyama, who are a famous enough name that I'd hope it would be a good panel.

I wouldn't have bought a UKP300 shiny aluminium Apple flat-panel of the same size, so (making the arrogant assumption that I'm the target market for these things) I'm not sure it would have been sensible for Apple to bring out a small expensive screen for their small cheap computer.

It is, I suppose, a little odd to buy computer from one e-shop, monitor from another, and the connecting cable from yet a third; potential for delivery hassles on a day-devouring scale.
