3-5 day shipping, I helped my friend order one a week ago and it took him like business days from the time of order. I expect my machine in the same time (same area) so possibly thursday or Fri.
I am ordering Kingston Hyper X CAS 222 DDR 2700 from newegg for $75 also.

:D

Or you can get 2 of these for $60.74 + tax shipped on the same order using the 5% off code.

Is it just me or did they raise the price for the DVD-RW drive from $100 to $150?

Also, I was thinking of adding a monitor. And I saw that I can add the E772 for $100. So I have 2 questions.

1. I dont see a E772, but I see a E772p. Are they the same?

2. The description says "flat", but from the picture it doesnt seem that way. Does anyone know from experience? Thanx in advance.

Nice option but this will limit your upgradeability, and I will have 640mb and you will have $10.

Yep NOW it is a really hot deal. The parts alone cost more than $422 (unless you were lucky enough to find hot deals on the majority of the parts). I've been telling all my friends and family to get in on this deal.

In the configuration, you can click on more information to get some basic details of the E772. Comparing that to your link they have the same specs such as resolution, dot pitch, etc. But they have different dimensions and different weights. So no they aren't the exact same. I'm just guessing here but I bet the E772p is the flat version of the E772. But that is just a guess. I've called up Dell on the phone in person and they were very helpful with monitor questions (I asked essentially the same thing but about two other similar monitor names). Either way, these are really value monitors. I personally won't want to be restricted to 1024x768 resolution. And the lack of any high refresh rates could be bothersome to some people (but 85 Hz is fine for me). I've got a couple of midline Dell monitor models, they start with the letter M, and they give a good picture at a very low price. It isn't the best monitor I've ever seen (I have a great 21" at work), but I have no complaints either.

Directron has a complete Black components section (under "Color Matching") and decent prices.
