I want to buy a monitor, since I've been using glitchy second hand monitors all the time. Is there anything I should know about monitors before I make my decision?

look at the warranty/dead pixel/return policy (who pays shipping?)
don't worry about speakers on the monitor, since they will suck anyways, don't worry about hdmi over DVI (same thing except it carries sound as well, see above for why)
LED monitors aren't really that much of a difference yet
if you are doing photoshop/graphic work/etc. look into an IPS panel (not TN) for better colors
look at the resolution - this matters more then physical size as far as how much stuff you can view at the same time

1. IPS or *VA (PVA/MVA) monitors. Do not ever get a TN monitor for any reason unless your hobbies includes giving yourself headaches.

Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality -
Varine:
Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing

The Helper:
Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such -

Varine:
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic

Varine:
I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.

I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
