I have 2 monitors 21 and 15 running at the same time
1024x768 and 800x600
That way I can test for a smaller screen size.

I think not. If so, they are the expensive ones. But that res on a 17" is bad for your eyes no matter how good you think your vision is...

Edit:
Actually, I do think so. I read the spec. for a couple and judged based on thatm but those say "Recommended screen res." so... It might be possible.

Yeah, tell me about it. I run at 1280 x 1024 right now. Anyhow, I can't seem to find enough space when working in photoshop with such a small screen. Now I wonder how I ever worked with 1024 x 768 now lol.

Ah, I'm 14 and I'm wearing glasses of power 150. Negative or positive, not sure. I wonder how blind I'd get in a few years to come =\

Do as I did, use dual monitors. Using photoshop is much easier then. Workarea(s) on one side, and tools, information, options, layers etc. on the other. =)

Hehe, no.
And No again just to make sure you got it. ;)

For the average computer idiot as myself, it's not very uncommon to have an average sized room in the basement filled with old and older equipment, after all years of messing around with them.

Transfer costs between Sweden and "Plaza Singapura" is likely to be rather big (?) or else I might've send you some of the better junk stored (if that would do it).
