"and that they'll drop the M$ tax, and replace their bundled OS with something cheaper, like Linux"
Can you imagine non-slashdot/well informed computer users trying to use linux? Windows is excellent for what it is. Dont get me wrong I love linux and use SuSe but there is no way the general public is computer savy enough to use linux.
This is the kind of think I would advise waiting on. You can use this argument for anything(wait 5 more months and you can get a faster computer for the same price) but when looking at getting a flat screen monitor it would probably be prudent to wait for the technology to further develop. If you are looking for a flat screen with the same quality as a nice CRT then you should wait a while. CRTs have been around forever and have had a really long time to develop. Buying a flatscreen now could be a waste of money because Im sure new better technology will come around tomorrow. Then again... they look cool so maybe you should get one now. Chicks dig them.

Committing yourself to $528 worth of online gaming seems like a waste to me. Play Team Fortress.
