No, seriously, I don't have any better idea than just wrapping my head in bandages and calling it a day. People online act like it's easy, but does anyone actually know where to find decent corn syrup around here?

Hey everyone. I’m looking to pull off a zombie look—or at least something in that general vein—for my Halloween party.
I’m honestly stumped on where to buy a mask or how to actually execute the makeup myself. Right now, my basic idea is to wrap some white gauze bandages around my head and then try to paint something on top of that. 🤷
I’d love to achieve a vibe somewhere around here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvcincvKGIk
But I really doubt I can find anything that specific at a local Spirit Halloween or anywhere else around here.😁
Also, I was really digging that guy in the most recent Lady Gaga video—you know, the one with the incredible face paint, all black everything, wearing a sharp black suit... just stunning. But again, I feel like recreating that level of detail through DIY makeup might be an impossible task.

So, if anyone has any solid ideas on where to pick up a decent mask or what supplies I should grab to make this look legit, please let me know.😁
Thanks in advance.

That is exactly what I was about to post. Honestly, I think it's probably the best monitor you can pick up at that price point.

Oh, my bad Gerald Taylor15, could you please switch that over to the outskirts?

So, I'm looking for a decent monitor with a budget of around $1,500 (I could stretch it a little, but let's not go overboard)

My current GPU is a Gigabyte GTX 260 with 896MB of DDR3, but the rest of my components are actually pretty solid—I just picked up most of them about seven months ago.
Since I spend an incredible amount of time staring at my screen, I really need something that won't wreck my eyes too much.
The main goal is gaming performance; I mostly play FPS titles, stuff like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
I’d prefer something 21 inches or larger.
Needs to have good specs...
I don't care too much about where I buy it, though I'd prefer checking out places like Best Buy, Micro Center, or maybe Staples.
I'm really not interested in ordering anything online; I want to walk in and grab it.

Let me know if there's any other info you guys need from me, and please, if you know of a solid monitor that fits these requirements, let me know.
Right now, these two caught my eye:

I haven't gone through every single post yet—maybe I missed it, but has anyone actually written an in-depth review of Windows 7? You know, like those detailed breakdowns you see on sites like PC Gamer or IGN, covering all the pros, the cons, and everything in between?

Has the full version of Windows 7 actually been released yet? I know tons of people have been downloading the beta builds, but has the final version officially dropped? If not, does anyone know when it's actually scheduled to hit the market?
If it is out, has anyone seen a Bug report, an Enter article, a PC World feature, or maybe something in Computerworld that gives a complete breakdown of what the full version looks like? I'm looking for a deep dive on all the specific improvements they've made compared to Vista...
