That would be a nice system! There is, however, one question that I just
have to ask, Are you the Glenn K. that threw my slinky in Duck lake? If so,
I'm your cousin. If not, never mind.

Does the work you are doing now and in the foreseeable future require
the hardware you are thinking of buying?

Very nice system. I've had mine for almost a year.

Why the VGA analog cable for your monitor? Does it come with a DVI or HDMI
cable for digital operation?
Ditch the McAfee antivirus and download one of the many good free ones;
6GB of RAM is more than enough for most people.

I'm looking at the 9000 as well. I will definitely want a blue-ray
burner, but I'm not going to buy it from Dell. I figure I can do
without it for a year or so then pick one up for far less money. As
Daddy has said in another post, you can probably do better on price by
buying speakers elsewhere. I agree with WSZsr on the McAfee. I'd ditch
that too (But is it possible? It comes with the system...)

A general question for the group--is a separate sound card a
necessity? Why do people get more than integrated audio? For 5.1
sound?
