£215 from Scan for a Dell U2311H. Got the soundbar attachment from eBay for £11.99.
It's sooooo prettyyyy.... 
And as far as the validity, obviously it's real if it's on Apple's site. I'm cool-wasn't looking forward to any new hardware. It's all gotta happen next week if they're already posting images. What I'm interested to know is who managed to spend enough time and find this thing hidden in the depths of Apple's site...

You all do realize you'll be able to plus these into normal miniDisplay ports as well, so just because it's plugged into a Mac mini or a Mac Pro doesn't mean they have Thunderbolt.
The Dell U2311H is rather popular for being a remarkably affordable 1080p e-IPS display. If you are fine with 1080p, the price is often greatly reduced with promo codes.
In addition, I have seen many users remark how the U2711 is $999. I have seen it drop to ~$800 or even less depending on the promotion. Remember, Apple never has sales.
Nah, all the graphics processing is inside the computer.
The Cinema Display is just showing what's in the framebuffer of the device driving the display.
Not true.
Apple has an annual one-day sale on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Select items receive a modest discount.
Thunderbolt's compatible with MiniDisplay ports, which I'd assume Mac Minis have (they are the only Apple products I'm essentially clueless about), so it isn't necessarily a new model. Unless I'm entirely wrong, which wouldn't surprise me, but I think I got it right this time.
Careful you might ruin the perceived value. I am often amazed at the resale value on effectively ancient hardware. Then again Core 2 is overkill for what most people do. The resale game was fun while I could find buyers. There's a sucker born every minute.
Apple has really trashed the iPad market. That's before I even mention other refurbs and mark downs.
These rumor sites are calling "Wolf!" so much these days, they've lost all credibility. I'd like to see Mac Rumors not just repeating every unfounded rumor it comes across.
Make it stop!
At this point, there have been so many conflicting rumors that I half expect Apple to come out with OS 11 next week.

It would be stupid not to report this one since the images come from Apple's site.
You do realize these images are from apple.com when you place the leaked part number into the url...

Daisy chaining.
Branding
Support of built in ports on the monitor.
Built in video acceleration (bad idea)
Faster performance.
Stuff a disk in the monitor to make it a Time Capsule.
Many other possibilities exist, these just pop up real quick.

This rumour is also wrong. The part number is really for a thunderbolt enabled Mighty Mouse for the iPad.
You and COUGARCAT are giving me different responses. When the article mentions "MacBooks" does it mean Airs or regular MacBooks? Or does anybody know?
It appears that Apple is aware of this. In fact, of all consumer technology companies, Apple may be the most successful at protecting their brand image.
Well, if MBA's and Lion don't come next week I got dibs on the last week of July rumor. Seeing as Lion is going to be released in July according to Apple
So if these displays use Thunderbolt does that mean you can daisy chain one of those RAID external storage devices after the display? As in they just have an extra thunderbolt connector in the back?
