    Have you had confirmation santa claus?.and what did you put when it asked you for fax number?.
    pete

    No emails yet. I expect to get the acknowledgement of order in a day or two, and the Order Confirmation (the one with the PDF's) will probably be a couple of days thereafter.

    I expect a telephone call from them anyway as after submitting the order I realised that the expiry date on the credit card is this coming Tuesday :-/

    As for the fax number, I put my fax number :)

    Thank you Santa Claus!

    I have the Dell 3000 in my basket, ready to checkout, just need to make sure with any one of our unavailable  >:( computer friends that this is a good deal, but going on what Chico has said, it does sound like it........

    xx :D

    I hope my earlier reply has not caused you to order something you don't want. As stated by escapee, flat panel monitors are flat screens, but then some CRT monitors have flat screens too. If you have downgraded the 19" CRT to the 17" CRT then you will get a "normal" monitor, not a TFT Flat panel one. If the description is "flat panel monitor" then it is a TFT

  • For those who were asking about graphics cards for the basic Dell pc I spotted these few on Scan.

    http://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly/

    64MB ATI Sapphire Radeon 7000 DDR TV OUT £24.38
    64Mb MSI PCI MX440SE Tv/Out £27.03
    128MB AOpen Aeolus FX5200 (D-Sub, TV-Out) £42.01
    128MB Sapphire Radeon 9200SE DDR DVI£33.78

    All pci so should work in a dell no agp slot machine. Not sure just how bad the extreme graphics are on the dell but probably just uses your ram.

    Have a look, they are on scan's today only page which means they will go up to full price again at midday monday.

    Just trying to help as I know some were asking about playing games on the dell 2400.

    Dug out a list of em here too:

    DELL 15" (15.0" VIS) ANALOGUE FLAT PANEL MONITOR is a TFT monitor. It will only have the analogue (blue, 15 pin) input which is fine for this machine.
