I am sorry you are unhappy with the questions, David. As I am sure you know, I half-decent system with stereo graphics doesn't come cheap, and if you price things together to make something that performs well I doubt you'll get much change out of $2000. I am aware of other 3D systems (such as those listed on www.stereo3d.com). However, the price of peripherals like a 3D LCD monitor are prohibitively expensive (and the quality of the images is supposed to be poor). Do you know of a relatively inexpensive way of displaying 3D images on PCs? Any other comments would be greatly appreciated. Paul >From: "David J. Schuller" <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: "David J.
