Ben Matt,

If it’s not too late, I think that Cheapstingybargains’s Dell Coupon page (http://www.cheapstingybargains.com/cheapster/dellpage.html )is the probably the most comprehensive on the net.

I also opted for an asus p5wd2 mobo, 4 gb ram. so far the only pc i've built which doesn't struggle with photoshop cs2 running alongside the other cs2 apps at the same time. all i need now is a 64 bit os and the apps which will eventually make use of it.

Critical new features could come to help you choose better.

And they are so sharp looking. All of their components are top of the line, so they should work well for a long, long time. Swivel monitors, I don't know if they have. But not too difficult to *search* for swivel monitors, no? :) Voodoo makes watercooled pc’s, don’t they? And they are so sharp looking.

Right now you can get FujiPlus FP-988D 19" at <a href="http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1358111&Tab=2&NoMapp=0" rel="nofollow">TigerDirect.ca</a> for $249CDN or for $209US at <a href="http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1358111&CatId=170" rel="nofollow">TigerDirect.com</a>. They have a 3 year warranty and VGA and DVI connectors. I have 4 of them here and like them very much. If you go that way you will want a good video card like <a href="http://www.colorgraphic.net/newsite/products/xentera_gt4_models.html" rel="nofollow">Colorgraphic's Xentera GT</a>. I am looking at moved to 8 x 19" LCD and I am considering getting a pair of them. Right now I have a PCI and AGF dual video. If you want to really geek out you could go for 8 headed but then you would want to get 2 <a href="http://www.buy.com/prod/Ergotron_Quad_Monitor_Stand_DS100/q/loc/101/10368148.html" rel="nofollow">Ergotron Quad Monitor Stand DS100</a> so you can run 2x4.

My personal recommendation (I know Im partial) is the Asus A8N motherboard with a 64 bit processor and using 64 bit windows. I know! I know! that some drivers for this might still be difficult to find and I had fun getting a couple of my printers to work for this very reason but this is the most stable machine I have ever built. In fact i dont think I have had it lock up or crash yet and I run it nonstop. I am not ashamed to admit that I play games on it too even though I am 36 years old. I test out and try many of the latest and greatest games. I run the hard drives in 200 gig mirror config. Monitors can be found anywhere in allshapes and sizes. This poor boy has to settle for a 19 inch lcd from walmart but hey it works. If I had more money I would get the latest version of this motherboard and the FX version of the processor and max out the ram. Of course I would get the top of the line sli pcie video cards to top it out. The neat thing about this system is you can build it for less then a thousand or if you want you can drop a couple more thousand into make it ultra uber. :) I think if you used it you would love it as I do.. Now if I could just keep this darn hard drive from filling up.. :) Best of luck with whatever you choose. Matt,
