Dell 24″ Monitor & RAM for Mac Pro – suggestions on where to purchase from.
So again I am configuring a studio set-up for a documentary and need to purchase all the equipment in the next couple of days.
I have gotten good feedback about Dell monitors and I am just curious where people recommend buying one of the 24″ new displays from.
My second question is about RAM – previous posts have suggested buying 2GB Memory sticks (with cooling) from NewEgg or similar sites because Apple is way over-priced – just curious to get some thoughts on this as well.
The Mac Pro is a 2.8 ghz 8 core.
thanks in advance

Just buy it from Dell unless you can find a lesser price, which is usually not likely.

Very easy to install, and you will save a bundle. *Just be sure you install in the right pattern, apple has an online page on this, as do some of the venders. FCP prefers it installed a certain way.
My Mac Pro is full of ram from Crucial, and my Macbook Pro is full of ram from OWC. Both running great and saved me $$$hundreds$$$
Follow this link for a guide on buying 3rd party ram, and where to get it from:

I have six Dell 24s from various time periods. They so Rock! Great picture and well used for a full screen to get pretty close true color. Get the higher quality one and for sure the adjustable pedestal.
No more Apple Cinema displays here.I got several from outside vendors and three from Dell. Dell takes longer to ship most times. You can do some research and find them elsewhere. Again, they so rock. I use 2-24s on FCP and now on our Avids.
Best of luck

I believe OWC has a a sale on some Dell 24″.
https://eshop.macsales.com/item-maillist/Dell/S2409W/?source=hdb01232009t5Don’t know if this matches any other prices. I get a email blast from OWC and this one was part of it.
Good luck
