Nothng worse than your monitor going. I remember when mine went last year, it didn't fry, but started blinking on and off. I'd get about a second to see something and then it would be gone, back on for a second and off again. I did buy a new monitor but in the meantime tracked the fault (I think) down to my DVI connection, so I swapped it for the old VGA one and it worked fine. For a while. Then the monitor started doing it again so I set up the new one, and while it has gone off the odd time (and I think that may be something to do with VLC, as it usually only happens after I use that) it's not in any danger of - hey! Where did my screen go?
By the way: Hearts of Space looks cool. Is that a game? Lovely backdrop.
