Just a warning- I set up a triple monitor set up with 27" monitors and I wish I would have gone with 24".

Yeah. I think you may be right.

I had an Acer 24" Wide flanked by 2 Acer 19" 4:3's. I figured I'd go bigger.

We'll see.

The more disturbing thing is that newegg got a hold of your CC info from PayPal. The very point of PayPal is too hide your credit card info from online stores.

That disturbs me too. I get nervous, when I look at my online bank statement, and see chinese names on it, from ebay, rather than just "paypal".

The Newegg rep might have misspoken, saying "verify your credit card address" out of habit instead of "PayPal address," then Micrornd ran with it and imagined Newegg had his CC number and had accessed its info.

Without a transcript it's hard to guess exactly what happened, but I'm going to trust Newegg on this one.
"Our customer service team does not have the ability to see any credit card numbers but we will have a section that will tell us if the information matches or not matches. This gives our CS team the ability to assist you further without providing any of your credit card information."
But yes, the CSR did recite the last 4 digits of my CC number and say the billing address did not match the shipping address, and since it was on the phone, I have no transcript.

"All orders placed runs through an automated verification process with your financial provider."
In this case that was Paypal, not my CC.
Paypal does have both addresses verified and listed as primary and secondary for shipping and Chase (my CC) has a billing/shipping address and an authorized additional shipping address (because of this I checked both and they still remain that way), and no other business I've dealt with since using Papal (2001) has ever had a problem with that.
And the only way to know my billing address and shipping address are not the same is to contact Chase using my CC number.

I have no problem with those that doubt.
You're free to spin this any way you wish.

Tilting at windmills never pays off.
I'm sure my business means nothing to Newegg in the scheme of things.
A shame really.
So since all the above is impossible according to Newegg, I am content to take my business elsewhere and close this thread.

Merry Christmas to all, I got more parties to go to

Hi Micrornd,

When an order is placed with PayPal, you use PayPal’s payment portal. Once the order is approved and charged, the funds are received from PayPal. A customer service agent would be unable to provide a credit card number on a PayPal order.

I apologize for any misinformation. As mentioned before, I would be happy to look into this PayPal order to determine if the order was canceled in error.

Feel free to send us an email at wecare@newegg.com.

Thank you,

Darlene (Newegg Support)

Makes sense. If the Newegg rep really did list 4 digits of some CC while on the phone, it was probably a CC that was still on file with Newegg. That is, the rep missed that it was a PayPal order and just looked up the account info and could see the last 4 digits but not the whole number.

Dang. That's friggin' sexy setup.

I miss the old desktop thread.
Thanks. I hand-built the desk out of pine- based the design on the Ikea Spaceship standing desk hack, but found it was cheaper to build it out of real wood:

Nice desk! But... I question, in general, these nice big desks... with a little itty-bitty laptop sitting on it. Did you once used to have a desktop on there? Or was it always just for the laptop?

Edit: Or is the picture of the desk with the multi-monitor setup yours, and the one with the itty-bitty laptop, a catalog picture?

The desk above is the sample desk I based mine on- it's not mine. Mine is the one with the lights and guitars. I made mine bigger so I'd have room to tinker
