Digital BW, The Print

Well guys after the discussions here and on a couple other places I 
asked the same basic question along with a weekend of more reading 
and worrying. I'm leaning heavily towards the LaCie electron19blue IV 
and combining it with it's native Blue Eye calibrater. I like the 
idea that they are made to work together and read there are some nice 
advantages to that combined system with regaurds to ease of 
adjustment via mouse and on screen controls. I can find the Monitor 
for under $375.00 and the calibation set up for around $400.00. 
That's about what I wanted to spend on a monitor, but a bit more then 
I was hoping for the color calibrater but only about $150.00 (so no 
lunches for a few weeks!)

Since I'm going to be using a Canon FS4000D scanner for my slides and 
negs. I will not be doing any in scanner editing since it works best 
to just scan at 42bit and out put at 42bit and do everything needed 
post scan (I read a lot about people fighting this scanner trying to 
turn it into an editing device so I'll skip that)

So I'll still need a way to calibrate my Color printer a Canon i960 
but I can worry about that later. 

Next to buy the monitor and start working on the Computer itself.

WOW maybe I should just go finish the walls to my darkroom!

Thanks for the help deciding or maybe more likely making up my mind!
