Eyeing the U3415W myself so yes.

Glad to see some information coming out about the Dell U3415W. Like that they're going with a fully functional stand and hopefully no issues with the monitor itself once released.

Microcenter is showing it on the Webstore and several local stores besides Chicago. Just not in KC, which my wallet is giving thanks for.

The Optiplex GX270's we use to have only went about a year or so before the caps would get bad enough to cause errors and erratic behavior in XP. The bad caps weren't restricted to just Dell, a lot of companies had issues. First time I've seen a fan just fall out of a video card tho. Wonder...

Waiting to see what the Dell looks like as well. Considering replacing my Dell 2007FP portrait eyefinity setup with one of these if they work well.

DFS Direct Sales (Dell) has some of the 2007FP's back in stock. http://www.dfsdirectsales.com/dell/ctl641/cp57131/cl2/monitors Just filter by resolution or model.

OP is short for Original Poster. I.E. you started the thread. Or maybe you're just over powered. Looking forward to the reviews once all these monitors get released. Probably won't jump right away tho.

1600x1200 is an option if you can track down Dell 2007 FP monitors at a decent price. I've seen those pictured next to Dell 3007's in the past and they match pretty well.

I'm currently running 3x 20" Dell 2007FP's in portrait for 3600x1600 but these are older monitors and it's getting hard to find decent used ones. With the availability of relatively inexpensive 27" and 30" monitors now, I'd probably go that route rather than eyefinity.

Running 3 Dell 2007 FP's in portrait for 3600x1600. They're a good, low cost option for portrait eyefinity gaming if you pick them up used/refurbed.

Current favorite is my S12 520. It's been rock solid and quiet.

Won't water warp the wood that Nvidia cards are made of? I thought those were Dry Clean only.

Picked up the MSI a couple of months ago from Microcenter and it was not voltage locked. Has been serving me fine with none of the fan issues that Drangueos mentioned.

MSI 7950 Twin Frozer that I picked up a month or so ago was unlocked. Was $289 after rebates at the time. http://www.microcenter.com/product/403013/R7950_TF_3GD5-OC_AMD_Radeon_HD_7950_Twin_Frozr_III_Overclocked_3072MB_GDDR5_PCIe_30_x16_Video_Card

I haven't played with SoftTH myself but that should work. You'll be limited to DX9 from my understanding and no way to tell how well it works until you try it. For official surround/eyefinity, you need 3 monitors at the same size. I'm using 3 2007FP's in portrait and like it.
