I don't think you're going to find anyone on the board that says "Hey thats a Dell man, good choice."

That being said, unless you're getting financing, right off the bat I would get as little ram as possible and buy it from elsewhere cheaper.
 
um...seem like you are getting a Ferrari F430 with 14inch rims...lol :)

20inch monitor...

should go 30 man!
 
ok only dell.... cuz im getting like 30% off ther and i dun wanna go through with the hassel of putting in new ram... i think im ok w/ 20inch..
any other suggestions besides monitor??
 
4K+? Ouch. For that price it should come with a 30".....at least

Windows media center will only see 3-3.5gb mem? Maybe get a higher rated ram for overclocking?
 
that price is W/O discount... i should be able to get it for less than $3,000
(and btw... that is the best ram option available...)
 
should i get the 22 inch E228WFP Widescreen Digital Flat Panel instead?
is ultrasharp worth the two inches less?
