Even though this is an old thread, I'll comment on the monitor. I ended up getting one of these and it has been excellent. I think it was around $350 with all the coupons. The only drawback is sometimes it won't sync with the vid card prior to booting into windows (i.e. when getting into the BIOS) but all I did was connect the analog adapter to the second port on the vid card and select that during the boot process, then hit a button on the monitor to go back to digital. It doesn't always do it, but at least there is a simple fix.

Have had mine since April, paid about $400 with shipping. It's always been a joy to use. As soon as there is another promotion I'll be buying another one.
