I helped a friend setup a machine with this board a few months ago and it needed a bios update to run 16GB sticks. However, I think they update the bios with each manufacturing batch, so yours might not need the update.
There's also a lot of used dell 24" ultrasharp IPS monitors floating around ebay for <$200. I just grabbed a 2407wpf for $185 last week. That, or you can just buy a stand on Amazon and attach it to any monitor with VESA mounts.
Here's a stand for $44...
Just go with the cheapest SSD with the capacity you want. I have a X61 Tablet, and Lenovo has locked the BIOS at SATA I (150) for compatibility reasons. I believe the same is true on the T60. Hence, you won't actually get any speed benefits above SATA I speeds.
I have that case housing my desktop. I have a Phenom II X4 and a GTX460 inside, and I can hear all the fans. It's got good build quality for a budget case. But there's no dust filters or sound dampening layers.
I would recommend you go with the Antec if you want quiet.
The title for the thread is kind of misleading though. My order ended up being $365 after tax (upgraded to six cell battery & tax was $32). The $300 is for pre-tax, and with a small 4 cell battery.
I just bought a used SSD on ebay. After checking the model number, turns out that it's an SLC. They seller said he got it as an RMA. Really? I thought these things cost a fortune.
