    i'm thinking of getting this monitor too but it went on sale for 750 twice in the past few months. i'm just going to wait and this will eventually be cheaper than 750. and dell home has sales tax on ca now too so theres not much of a difference.

    CPU Usage between 40-50% at idle???

    more headaches at college...

    maybe the cpu was bad. no thermal paste != melted cpu. that's all i was trying to say. thermal paste should never be blamed for a melted cpu because it doesn't make that much of a difference. it makes you run cooler, but it won't melt a cpu. and like someone said earlier the motherboard...

    more headaches at college...

    lack of thermal paste does not mean you'll melt your cpu. the heatsink does most of the work. it'll be hot w/o the paste, but it shouldn't melt. he probably didn't seat his heatsink properly the first time.
