A Dell OptiPlex 7020, Wimpows 7.1, just was delivered in the last
hour. I'll report weekend heartburn as I bring it on-line ;-)

There good systems, We have a couple at work the newest one scored
better than the 5yr old Xeons we have.
Hope you have at least a DVI input on your monitor, the Optiplex is
Display port only and you should have gotten a DP to DVI adaptor in
the box.

Cheers
