Anyone know computer hardware? Need advice!

Fiona, rep added. that was helpful in determining a good deal.

I have been sitting on the PC config for a week now. After reading a few reviews on both cyber power and ibuypower, i determined that though they are a few bucks cheaper. I can foresee any issue being a headache. It looks like their QC is lacking and when they mess up, the customer pays. I called to check to see if everything was in stock before i ordered and they said the only way to check stock is if i order.... of course. Not a fan.

So I picked out something comparable i can pickup at microcenter. I think it will work well for me, i will get it possibly tomorrow.

I also ordered 3 of these on Monday. They are the same size as 27" only not as wide, which is perfect. They are 24" but 16:10 aspect ratio vs 16:9.

I've never been to a Microcenter but honestly, unless you're into computers, doing intensive graphics rendering work, or big into gaming, you probably won't notice much difference between a prebuilt solution like you found or building your own. Some people like to have 100% control of their hardware, and no doubt you can find good deals on specific parts, but paying a company to do it for you is worth the time in most cases. Just saved yourself some headache, good find!

I set these exact Dell monitors up daily at work, they are pretty awesome. Next time I set one up, I'll have to let the employee know that he could have had 3 instead!

That's a beautiful setup. I've been wanting to get a second monitor for a while now, I really miss the extra screen space.
