Dell PC's
Does anyone have any experience with www.Dell.com?? I am thinking about ordering a new puter from them. They seem to have some good deals i just dont know anything about them, are they worth a crap or should i stick to what i can find at the local Best Buy, Comp USA ect.

That's all we use here at work and I have a few at home. Good computers, never had a problem. Great prices. I can't even build one for that cheap. Windows XP alone is $100. Wait till they have good free offers like free shipping and free flat panel upgrade. They have different specials every week I think.

Yeah I found this out the hard way, I never heard of a motherboard that has no ISA slots and at the same time no AGP slot.. but i guess it exists.

XP Pro is 200 USD. The thing is, everytime you buy a computer from them, they charge you for a new windows. If you change computers often, you're better off building one yourself. My experience is this: I tried to put my old gf4ti4600 card in my wife's PC. No AGP slot. I said ok, buy a new motherboard. Doesn't Fit. Ok. Go to Barebones.com or whatever website that sells motherboard+CPU+case combos. Bought extra ram (cause the old PC had SDR SDRAM which I couldn't find anywhere) Now I have 2 PCs with one monitor. Eventually I bought a new monitor, so we can both work at the same time. Her PC is fine for what she uses it for, but it's not for gaming. Oh and their cases have no room for extra hard drives. that's a big bummer. I did not like dell or any other "brand name". Your experience may vary.

Dell is "provably" the biggest system seller in the UK.

Just choose your system wisely! I have bought nothing but DELLS, and I do a lot of gaming. Latest releases!! Never had a problem, never used warranty or tech support yet!!
My Specs Intel 2.4 512 Mb RDR (need to upgrade, mobo holds 2GB) ATI 9700 Pro 120 GB WD 7200 RPM H/D Sound Blaster Live XP Home Lite on CDRW DVD burners are (+) format, I chose not to buy one

I never use tech support, cause i have never needed. Never a problem to worry about tech support. Also all of my computers are a computer purchases program from work, you must buy a preconfigured machine a $$ are deducted from your paychegue weekly.
