Yeah, You are paying almost a grand for 3 19in (widescreen)monitors. Unless you are already using a 19in widescreen and like it, I would seriously reconsider that as well.
19WS just "seems smaller" to me. I prefer 4:3 aspect ratio on all monitors 19" and smaller. Plus, in this day, 300$ is far too much to spend on a 19" screen even if Dell has the best in the business.
Also, just guessing here since I didn't see the actual cost breakdown but it appears you are spending 500-1000$ on "extended warranty" and "onsite service". If it is really worth that much to you to not have to worry about it, great. However, I would suspect that you would be better off saving that 500-1000$ and just putting it towards a new system when this one dies (assuming it dies before it gets outdated which isn't very likely).
High end computers are not like cars. They are intended to be driven for 1-2 years tops and then passed along to someone else who doesn't mind worrying about maintenance. Paying 1/3rd the cost of the system for warranty just doesn't make sense to me.
