New HC?? What's that?

Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP- HC on their website. Looks like it's replaced the old 2407WFP.

The 2407WFP-HC uses a Samsung S-PVA panel. As a VA panel it brings good colours, blacks, contrast, viewing angles and a decent response time so that moving images are less likely to ghost. There are two alternatives to VA -- IPS panels can provide superior colour reproduction and viewing angles but at a high cost, while the cheap TN ones offer faster response times at the sacrifice of image quality and viewing angles -- so in essence VA is a compromise between the two.

I got the 2407WFP about 6 months ago. never looked back. utterly amazing display for movies/games/work

Got a 17" beside it... Maybe I should grab the HC as well, dual 24" monitor goodness...
Its only $1100

Also might as well get the 8600GT instead of the 7600GT. Pretty similar prices but the 8600GT supports DirectX10 and Vista.

7600GT supports Vista just fine, though it might not have all the DirectX 10 bases covered. In fact, any NVidia card from the 5000 series up should support Vista without too much difficulty.
