Re: Dell 30\" Monitor Sale
[ QUOTE ]
Yeah in '04-'05 we used to have a new thread on here every time the dell 2001FP went on sale - so you didn't really have to bargain hunt at all. [/ QUOTE ] Yea I remember a thread in 2p2 when the dell 2001fp was going on sale for $370. Everyone was rushing to buy it including me. Now a days it's $300 but that $70 difference doesn't matter considering how much it benefited me

Re: Dell 30\" Monitor Sale
Most of the cards specified with dual DVIs, such as an NVidia 8600 GT/GTS, or a Radeon 2600 Pro, would be reasonable ($100-$160 US). Depending on what else you need it for, you could spend more ... but the bottom end Dual-DVI cards (with 256 MB of RAM) should be enough.
I run mine with an NVidia 7800 GS, which I use for gaming as well as poker.

No regrets at all and still using it right now next to my 2407

Re: Dell 30\" Monitor Sale
You can find Samsung 204Bs on Newegg every now and again for around $300 also. I got both of mine about a year ago for $330 each shipped.

Re: Dell 30\" Monitor Sale
people claiming that you need a dual dvi card to run the 30" monitor are simply wrong
in reality, you need a dual-link dvi card. dual dvi means a dvi card with two dvi plugs. dual-link dvi means a dvi card that is able to run these very high resolution devices. more info is in the monitor FAQ in the computer + tech help forum.
