W20, 5th floor Athena cluster,  MIT sticker 00363815,
the second DellGX150 on your left as you walk in,
it's monitor screen is having horizontal stability problems.
(easily visible from the login screen).
Thought you'd want to know before warranty expires... :)

BTW:  The new systems/monitors are really nice (1600x1200x85Hz
especially).  The only thing which seems to be an ongoing problem is
that the particular anti-glare film on those Trinitron screens gets
filled with fingerprints which are impossible to wipe off.  Don't know
if there is alternative anti-glare film, but the fingerprints start
becoming more distracting than the glare (which is slight anyway with
those flat screens).  But you probably already knew all of this
anyway....

BTW2:  Is someone aware of the problem with the Athena chairs in here?
