If I had some money to burn on a monitor, I’d pick up this slick new monitor from Dell.

Dell’s Crystal monitor is in a league of its own, not to mention it looks flippin’ awesome.

The 22-inch widescreen monitor is crafted from 4mm-thin ultra-clear tempered glass, has four built-in speakers and webcam, with all the wiring visible. And you’d think something like this can’t have such a nice display, but it has a 1680×1050 resolution. In other words, it’s pretty good.

And remember when I said if I had money to burn, I’d buy one? Well, if you have $1,500 to burn, I’d recommend picking up one of these. Even if you don’t have a computer to attach it to, it’s still cool to look at.
