Mmm nice monitor! If it's not too rude a question, how much was it? Dell UK has it listed at well over 1000 UKP.

You were probably writing this as I posted above, but after my employee purchase program discount, it was $779 w/$1 shipping. That is a phenomonal price for such a monitor. I still say that at retail, it's the best price you can possibly find for a monitor of its type, and sometimes Dell has it on discount for near a grand.

Boy oh boy, I can't wait to fire it up. Those CPUs better get in stock quick!

I have a quick question that actually relates to the topic of this thread! How do most AMD 64 CPUs mount? is there a backplate on the motherboard that needs to be attached? the instructions that came with the mobo seem to imply that I need to apply something to the back in order to attach the heatsink. I've had to do similar things for my Zalman HSF, but is that how it works for the included AMD HSF? It's the only thing preventing me from building the entire system, then putting the CPU in later.
