Here is my setup!

T61 with a ThinkPad Advanced Mini-Dock hooked up to a 19" Lenovo Flatscreen with an IBM Keyboard and Microsoft Optical Mouse.

You're the first person I know to have bought a Lenovo screen, do you get good deals from them? Just curious.

I actually bought it open box from www.techforless.com for $180. Great deal in my opinion. Works great and I haven't had any problems with it.

Very nice setup, so clean! The monitor looks good, but I prefer the looks of the older IBM LCDs. There is something awesome about the boxy looks of the older IBM stuff :)

Haha, totally. I probably should have bought the docking station from another company but I didn't think of it at the time. www.techforless.com is amazing. In addition to the monitor we bought a $3,000 46" TV for $1,000 because one of the corners was cracked. Nothing wrong with the TV. Works perfectly for 1/3 of the price! :o

Gotta agree with you there, but the Lenovo was such a good deal, so I took it. I love the older IBM stuff. That's why I bought the older IBM keyboard, which I got for $10 from techforless :) .

]Lenovo has a couple of nice screens. The L192p (that's being phased out and replaced by the sh*tty L193p), and the L190x/L200p/L220x are nice too, but indeed expensive.
