Santa came early( I got a new monitor!!!!!!!)
« on: December 14, 2007, 12:01:40 PM »
I've been running a Dell 228WFP 22" widescreen monitor at work and absolutely love it.  1680x1050 crisp and clear.  The only drawback was no built-in usb ports and the stand did not elevate but was fixed.

I had to buy another monitor for a new pc so I called my Dell rep.

Sales Rep: KnacK, have I got a deal for you!!
KnacK: (drooling all over himself) whatchya got?
Sales Rep: the New ultrasharp 22" widescreen came out today!!
KnacK:(sporting some serious wood now) mmmmmm secsi, how much??
Sales rep: SAME PRICE AS YOUR 19" STANDARD MONITORS!!
KnacK: OMFG GIMME ONE!!!

Dell Ultrasharp 2208WFP 22-inch Widescreen

The biggest thing I noticed from the othler model is that its so fregging bright!

Anyway, I had to share.  It will be the best present I get this year.

Niceeeeee one knack, that thing is my wetdream. jk

but you know whats bs tho? i have a dell dimension E310 desktop and i watched this review video on it online, and when the guy takes the side plate off he says how there is two pci slots but I cant put in a videocard. So now im running this intel POS integrated graphix card and my parents wont buy me a new computer. does anyone have a E310 and know for a fact you cant put in a graficks card? And if you cant what are those pci slots for?

If you have unused PCI slots then you should be able to put a video card in.

Edit: Okay. Just looked at some pics of the inside of and E310 and yeah you can definitely put a video card in if you have the open slots. Also note that there are only 2 PCI slots and they may already be in use. If you post a pic of the back of your tower I can tell you if they are in use or not.

Erad,

The only thing that *might* help is an old pci vid card.. That means a 4 meg or 8 meg card.

I looked and even I dont have any more of those lying around.

I have a few PCI vid cards.  Not sure how large they are though.  Think at least one of them is 32mb.
