Another great one Shawn, Just curious though, how would you use a computer without a display?

I'm sure it's obvious, but I can't think of one.

Thank you Derek.

If you had a computer running that you only did a "remote desktop connection" into, then you would not need a display connected for it. All of the animation effects would be slow for this type of setup, and would be better turned off.
