That gives you a *REAL* workstation, in term of 'usable' display surface. (and a lot of heat :)). Be Aware of matrox cards: if the one you buy doesn't works immediatly OK, return it for exchange (check that they do not return the same card). Old Matrox cards production quality were pretty unstable. I recently bought about 20 MII and had no problems (finger crossing!!).
