Hey Sonki - You are really stuck on the two monitor bit - I remember you were trying to buy a laptop with this feature some months ago <ggg>. Anyway, you can't get a prebuilt dual monitor capable Dimension system from Dell as of today.
You would have to buy the system and then add a second PCI video card to drive monitor number 2. A more elegant solution would be to order a system with the new Matrox Millenium G400 AGP video card, which supports two monitors from one slot. Problem is, Dell does not offer the card, and I don't see how you can order a Dimension without a video card. Gateway however, will allow you to order a system without video. You could then buy the Matrox card, install it, and have the two monitor support off one card. The other solution is to order an NT workstation from any vendor, they can be ordered with Appian Jeronimo cards that support 2-4 monitors right out of the box.

John

PS - You can check out the Matrox card at www.matrox.com. It is a new card just being made available. You can even use a TV instead of a monitor for the second port, and run both at different resolutions...
