I was able to velcro my mac mini to the back of my monitor, this is the most convenient position for me, to free upspace, plus the velco holds VERY sturdy, im not worried about the mac mini falling off, but should i be concerned about the computer being so close to the back of the monitor? My monitor does not heat up, but the mac mini does when left on for a long period of time, or when burning/reading cds/dvds. will heat do anything to either the monitor or the mac if they are attached to each other with velcro?

I am going to buy a new monitor, mostly for fast action gaming, I am trying to decide between a CRT flat screen or a LCD. A guy at work has a Dell ultrascan p1110 CRT, its huge, but has great picture, and is 21", what I am looking for, I can get one for $100. . Best buy currently has a MAG 19" wide screen LCD for $160, looks nice, but the guy at the store said the contrast ratio was low at 1600:1, so it wouldnt be very sharp and bad for gaming. but the dell CRT is only 200:1, but looks very sharp and very clear, plus the price is good. Size does not matter to me. What is the better choice?

Windows shows the drive in the device manager, and the BIOS shows it. I have done driver updates, still no luck. I no it works with Windows Vista because my Primary HDD is the same.
It is a SATA HDD

The device manager says:
STM3250820AS ATA Drive

The drive crashed. Needless to say, the person that it belongs to had no backup and the drive is CRUCIAL to him. Every time I stick it in a Mac, it just sits there and spins. I've tried Disk Warrior and Disc Rescue II, and both just freeze while trying to even scan the disk. So I stuck it in a PC, and through Disk Manager I could actually recognize it. I installed MacDisk and then the drive showed up!! Now, I tried to copy files, and its still giving me errors. At this point, I either just want to make an image of the drive, or do a repair. What can I do to save this drive? I also tried using Acronis TrueImage to make an image, and initially it said bad sectors (first at 0, then at numbers in the millions) and then when I clicked ignore TrueImage didn't recognize it anyway.

Please, I hope someone can help me.

The computer has a 144GB capacity, 76.35GB free space (52%). I cannot complete a disk cleanup. I tried doing a defrag at 2A this morning and at 8A it was only at 32% complete. Where do I start and how do I find out what is using the memory? I use a DSL line, but the computer is performing as if it were a dialup. Also, my hobby is photography...a lot of pixs. This is a Dell..so forget Customer Service.
