That's the one! I am receiving it @ 18h00, will post a pic as soon as I get it.
I was looking at 24", but they are in the R3000+ range. I only want to pay R2400 and under.
I also going to use two screens. My current screen for Skype, Google, ect and my new DELL for gaming only!

EDIT: My friend also has this DELL, and you won't believe how light and thin it is! It is unbelievable!

Welcome to the club!!! I am in heaven with this monitor...
BTW, you got a beast build! That graphics would be insane on the DELL.

*eeeek* Response time (typical): 7 ms , but it is a pretty monitor ...

I missed out on two , yes two great deals on 290's on carbonite I need to work less and spend more time on forums :p

my build is at a stand still until I sell my laptop :( but always good to shop around anyway with the new AMD GPX's dropping soon the 290 prices will hopefully fall a bit more .... patience (and a quick trigger finger) is key ...

I totally agree with you djtzar on the response time, but for now it is a really nice monitor. Later on I will get a gaming monitor on Carbonite. 290's!!! Dude, if you can crossfire! They will own! Personally, I am not a big fan of crossfire/SLI, but it would be nice to try it out once. I bought a 280X, and my current GPU costs R400! So it is a big upgrade! The 290's price would drop, because newer models would be available. Yeah, I also learned you need to be patient, but at the end of the day you save money! So it is worth it!
 
Getting the same monitor end of the month,mainly for work..not gaming...it is the ips panel that gives u the clear beautiful display!

Crossfire isn't all that cool. you'll most possibly get better performance out of a single card.

Yeah... I have learned it is better to buy a stronger single GPU, rather than to crossfire/SLI.
I have heard you get heating problems, because the cards is close to each other.
And only some games support crossfire/SLI.

Thank god people can't use images in their sigs here.

Did you get your sticker?
 
Andrew_Smith said:
No, I did not... Can you maybe track it?

Nope it was sent via regular mail, did you expect me to send a 5c sticker via registered mail or courier?

EDIT: Sorry that was uncalled for. I did mail it and it should have been there by now, no tracking.

It is maybe at my post office, so I'll take a look... And I know in my area they deliver our mail via a person on a bike and the weather condition is currently horrible for that, so there may be a delay.
 
(Update)

Was an awesome weekend! PC Gaming is worth every cent!

Very impressed and thanks again for all of your guys advice! Really helped a lot!
