Vostro is not for serious gaming. it's for business/development purpose. Vostro 220's will not even meet Nathan's needs by a mile. it's far from it. 425's could but it's still not for serious gaming purpose.

True, I own the Vostro 220s and it has been running since late March, but I am not sure what Nathan would want. Do you really want a computer that for gaming purposes?

I have been searching for that, but I had a look at my monitors, and there is no screwable holes in it, it is slip slide stands, WTF? Is there another way that I could get the LCD mountable for my corner desk which I am running out of room already.
 
JClarke said:
Well, don't use the 32" -- use that for your PS3, and get the same size of your other monitor for the secondary screen.
Click to expand...

good idea. i wouldn't use 32" for computer. wayyyyy too big! If I were to shit money, I'd take:
1. one 22" as my main screen and
2. one 20" as my right side (vertical position - good for reading purpose since i'm a developer) and
3. one 17" flat panel (not widescreen) as my left side for email purpose
