A 22-in Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM - very sweet, and an ATI Radeon 4780 (the most powerful card my system could reasonably take advantage of).
Unfortunately the video card causes an annoying sound that I haven't yet managed to get used to (sort of like a barely audible hissing water pipe sound even though it's obviously just the fan) and my friend got the genius idea of turning my computer on its side to see - well, something.
Unfortunately for me, he didn't realise (and I wasn't paying attention) that I had my 4GB USB stick inserted on the right hand side of the tower (it has 2x USB ports on the side along with other things) - the act of putting it on its side obviously wrenched the stick out of the port, ruined the port, and reduced my lovely Sony 4GB microvault to a twisted wreck.
After much straining with a screwdriver to get the metal back in place, we put it in other port, it worked, I transferred all the data to my hard drive, and now I've got a fucked up port on my tower, and a useless memory stick.
Of course, it doesn't mean dick because I've got one port on the front side left and two spares on my keyboard (a Logitech G15) - but dont you fucking hate it when the "perfection" of your PC is ruined by something like this? Anyway to fix it? Can they replace those?
So got a new video card and monitor ...

You could replace it, but it'd require a soldering iron and a lot of patience.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

If it's part of the case, it shouldn't really require soldering as they connect via pins on the motherboard. Problem is finding a connector that would fit in the case , and how to attach it.
Probably be easier to fill it w/ epoxy or something and paint it over since you have ports to spare.
