We purchased one system with a 22 widescreen and 17 normal screen as a demo unit. The first one was sent back and then we got a second one. We tested more than just the dual monitor setup (CPU, vid card, ram, etc...). We had a few select users test drive it for a day or two each and then got feedback. Not everyone agreed but we went into the test stating that we would order uniform machines, no one-off's!
