I'm a sysadmin for a small pharma company. I've been using SGI's for many years (1995-present anyhow) but only been in charge of some beasts for a couple of years, Linux being my previous sin.

One of my interests is 3D graphics which was sparked by some of the 3D work my company does for the good of mankind (or something like that), hence the personal interest in SGI equipment

LCD screens are strange beasts - while most will tolerate vertical refresh rates greater than 70Hz, you'd never want to use one at this rate as the image quality degrades. Ideally, you want as low a refresh rate as possible. Some of the best results I've seen (using analog inputs) have been in the 50-60Hz range..... and 4Dwm looks really special when using an O2 on an LCD screen!
