y dont u make a custom pc? itl be a lil cheaper, and prolly better for same price. But with dell u get a better warrenty prolly, and all preinstalled. We have a pretty old 800 mgz dell, still works good, havnt had problems. It would def be better than getting a hp or sony in a store.

Anyone have a Dell? Wish I didn't.
They advertise their 'award winning customer service'...that award was won in 1998. How can there customer service win any awards...when it DOESN'T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE!
Just hope no parts die...if you manage to convince them that you need a replacement within two weeks I'll be impressed. It took 20 calls (all with huge amounts of wait times)...and tons of bouncing around from department to department to get them to replace the defective 802.11b card that shipped preinstalled with his laptop. It was over a month before he had a working card.
I would advise building your own machine. You can get the same performance as the Dell (if you buy the same parts), or better. I would actually advise an AMD CPU over the Intels Dell always ships computers with.
Dell products, excluding their desktops, are often of quite cheap quality. Their desktops are more acceptable. The main problem with Dell is the way they treat customers.
