Spoken like a true Texan

LOL, nothing to do with liking Dell or where they are based. Mainly the decision came down to two things: 1) Dell is newer, 2) Dell uses half the power, which should produce half the heat.

Got the monitors, but the cables won't be here until tomorrow (long cables to run into next room over/closet).

One of my labs (Molly) is guarding them

There won't be when I'm done.. Dell will be taking them back, one way or another, if there are...

Here are the four Dell U2412M's hooked up.

I've ordered a fifth, to be here early next week. I got a price of $279 on the 5th!! I am currently trying to negotiate down my previous order from last week @ 309, down to 279, but not sure that is possible.

Neat set-up, but I'm sorry I just can't resist asking this question:

Do you suffer from the sniffles or do you just happen to spend a lot of time browsing ..............?
