Haha, same here! I <3 Dell! I get stuff from their refurbished outlet store for great prices and have never had a problem. Admittedly, their laptops are uninspired to say the least.

well I build my own computers so I would never own a dell desktop - I can see how they would be an optimal solution for businesses though -- cheap/easy/uniform configuration for the entire place

I own a dell XPS2 laptop though and it's been top-notch. I also own a dell 24" Widescreen LCD and it's a small slice of heaven. Dell products in laptop/display category are good, desktops.... meh not for me.

I think Dell desktops are good for people who aren't in the habit of upgrading often. If I bought a processor, case, mobo, and Windows I'd be well, well over what I paid for my box now. But, different strokes for different folks.

Hey man, pretty sweet. I'm actually all set in the computer department. I'm just waiting until July 5th so I can order a 2007WFP (with the upgraded firmware guaranteed for anyone following that whole saga).

I can't wait to have so much desktop real estate! Just think of how many worthless icons I can put on my desktop!
