$300 new on Amazon...how much are they in Sweden?

About $317 but thats because the Swedish Kronor is stronger now. Going by last year's rates it would be about $285 and thats surprising considering **** here usually costs much more. For example a screen thats around 500 dollars in America would cost around 700 dollars here.

I would personally wait and see how much the LED backlit IPS panels from Dell go for but I can vouch for this particular screen because I own it.  

Yeah, same in Costa Rica, where I'm living currently. There are such high import taxes that technology costs 20-40% more than in the US. In some cases it is actually cheaper to purchase a plane ticket, fly to the US, buy your goods, and return with them. o.0

Haha yeah, Sweden has insane tax rates. Our currency gets stronger but our prices don't go down, so we get even more ripped off. For example it used to be 7 Kronor per Dollar, now it's 6 but no price changes on PC parts.

Heheh, Costa Rica has the opposite problem. Their currency gets weaker and weaker, and prices get higher and higher!

When I moved here, $1USD=350 CR Colones, and for example my favorite cheese cost $2. Now $1USD=500 CR Colones, and my cheese costs $5

If your keyboard has a button that says prt scr (print screen) , it copies your screen , then you just paste it in paint and save it as a jpeg or png.  

A slice of relaxation each time I look at my desktop  

I've been changing mine around a lot lately cuz I can't quite settle on anything in particular. In the past week alone, I've gone from Katamari to MLP (hence the gloriously agonizing pink) to this. At first I was like "I shouldn't post till I feel comfortable with something," but then "LOL I CAN JUST POST AGAIN WHEN I INEVITABLY CHANGE IT" so yes, expect more in the future if this fickle mood persists.
