i'm fuckin' going out of my mind already. those of you who came in earlier today saw that i'd posted the spec sheet for the Dell computer i'd finally chosen. well, hours later and i'm configuring the damn thing over and over again to try and get the best possible solution :) so here's the (close-to) final set-up:

Dell Dimension 8400

- Pentium® 4 Processor 540 with HT Technology (3.20GHz, 800 FSB, 1MB)
- Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition
- 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 400MHz (2x512M)
- 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
- 17 in 1704FP Ultrasharp™ Digital Flat Panel Display
- 128MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon™ X300 SE
- Sound Blaster® Live! 24-bit ADVANCED HD™ Audio
- Dell® Enhanced Multimedia Keyboard
- Dual Drives: 16x DVD-ROM Drive + 16x DVD+/-RW w/dbl layer write capability
- Dell A425 Speakers w/Subwoofer

any final thoughts? this system would cost me $46/month.
what i wanted to get were enough memory to burn dvd's easily (the 250gb was the lowest i could go on that particular configuration), the 17 inch Ultrasharp flat screen (because of the Digital Video Input not found in the other 17 inch flat screen), the dvd burner, and the 24-bit soundblaster card.
as you can probably tell, this is a pretty big deal for me, so any thoughts or comments are extremely welcome. huge thanks :)
