Hi i'm josh and i'm a PC

 

[tatjunkie]

You know what they say... An Apple a day will keep the computer doc away!!!!

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Did you get it directly from Dell or a third party....like Best Buy?

 

[tuelle]

I didn't see anything about warranty or accidental damage protection. I work at a University and a lot of the kids get Dell XPSs, but it's like playing russian roulette with out the warranty & ADP. Just my $0.02.

Hey Dude....what's a Dood! :headroll:

 

[Electric Sheep]

Excellent! Looks like you got a nice setup (and it's much better than what you were originally looking at). Now all you need to do when you get it is:

(A) Format the HDD to get rid of that nasty Windows stuff, and then
(B) Install Ubuntu and be happy! Well, as happy as you can be without Mac OSX

:eyebrow:

Agreed. OpenOffice really rocks for free. So much open source stuff out there that is just great stuff.

Now that's what I want next for my home PC!

Agreed. I would not buy a Dell without at least a full one year warranty. Last year, I bought a Latitude and my son bought an XPS and both needed to have the MBs replaced.

Based on my son's problem (heat related issue), I'd highly recommend a USB powered cooling pad like this one: http://tiny.cc/ubAFM, especially if you will be using this for gaming.

Yup... don't get a Dell without the warranty. My wifes' Dell 1821 has the 3 year warranty / accidental care plan.
