The Home of Chrome: a dedicated professional gaming training facility in Sweden which is also the home of all-girl clan, girlz 0f destruction. Marketing front or Girl Power? They flew to Stockholm to find out.
Curiously, all the girls use 19" NEC MultiSync CRT monitors for gaming. You could argue that LCD monitors have improved to the point where CRT displays no longer hold an advantage over LCDs in terms of response time and what not, but the real reason the girls eschew CRT in favour of LCD is resolution: they all play at 800x600, which would produce some quite horrific scaling problems on your average 1280x1024 TFT.

    Hi, we're VIA, our graphic chips suck, so can we interest you in some titties? And a graphics card?

    ... they call themselves a clan of "gamerz" and run everything at 800x600 on S3 graphics cards? Sounds like a group of AOL posers to me.
