I am super close to getting Mac Pro as a "gaming"/workstation machine. Granted, that's crazy amount of money for what gaming performance it provides but theres nothing out there in the world that matches the performance/size/build quality. This case was the first thing that made me go...

Is there any chance for more of those cases to be available? I only just found out about this and boy I wish I got one!

I work on Mac OS X and I really don't understand the people that have the dock at the bottom. That's a waste! (unless you're 4:3, but no Mac user is...). 16:10 or 16:9 is really no difference. If you use vertical space saving settings both are great. Even on windows (Win7) -> move task bar to...

Personally, I don't care if it's 16:9 or 16:10; both are fine. I use OS X, my dock is on the right hand side (can't understand why people keep it at the bottom; waste of valuable vertical space!) and both aspect ratios provide lots of space! With 16:9 I can put two terminal windows next to each...

Wow, this monitor has a hefty price tag! Seems great though. Either this, or Nec EA231WMi (which is much cheaper!). 570 gbp is kinda out of question...

Bloody hell, that's cheap. You guys on the other side of the The Big Pond sure have it nice. I guess standard conversion rate applies: 1 usd = 1 gbp ;-) Either way, October can't come soon enough!

I think that people from Europe and Asia would most certainly disagree. It might be hard to believe, but there are quite a lot of folks living here and US is not the only country in the world :P

Yup, it's about right. I've read news that said it's going to cost 900 euro. :S No way in hell! Otherwise, great LCD.

I can guarantee that 1080p won't look any worse when downsampled to 1680x1050 ;-) I'm happy with 720p; but I agree, 1080p movies are nice.

burningrave101: I just ordered 2408WFP (I didn't go for 2209WA because I want to use it with PS3 and 2209WA doesn't scale picture by itself and neither does PS3; Xbox on the other hand, has a proper scaler). Unfortunately here, on the Old Continent it costs a bit more; With 40% off you still...

Maybe because you can simply plug HDMI to DVI port? The only reason why you would actually need HDMI is if the monitor had good built in speakers or could send the audio to some audio output port (some monitors do). But that's extra electronics that would increase the cost. Otherwise, there...

Why do you need 1080p? Neither Xbox nor PS3 deliver 1080p for games. Sure, there is one or 2 games that do, but they're so rare that I wouldn't bother to cater especially to them. Xbox has a scaler so it can output nice 1680x1050 (with black bars on top and bottom), so why not get Dell 2209WA...

Hehe, I move a lot (study abroad) and I was checking that. The physical dimensions of the 23" monitor should be smaller than the maximum physical dimensions of the carry-in luggage allowed ;-) Other than security thinking you're a weirdo, I don't think it would be a problem.

Dymlos, thanks! It's just I can't get the Prad.de review out of my mind when they say the screen is really, really bright. And lots of people write that at factory settings (brightness 50) it is so blazingly bright that it can burn your eyes out ;-)

Guys! Can you comment on my brightness question! The sale at Dell lasts only until 15th so I'd be really grateful if you could give me some info before then! Thanks!
