Achilles

I thought that I'd let you know that I got my rebate check from PNY on Saturday. As long as you jump through the hoops correctly you'll get your money.

As far as your monitor goes, IMO it is one of the best panels of any brand that you can own. From a gaming perspective, it's even better than the 2008 model, which has input lag/response time issues. The only thing that it really lacks is input options like HDMI, which really isn't very important to me. The cheapest that I ever saw it was when the Dell outlet was selling referbs for ~$600.00 with a 3-year warranty. From what I heard, the refurbs were perfect, making the deal very tempting, but I still didn't have the money for one even at that price.
