"Sem, if my company will offer me with free $1000 Dell PC I will take it as offence. Those machines are total crap."
A month or so ago a lady came to my shop with her Dell. The NIC blew out so I stuck a cheap LinkSys NIC in and all was well. I did notice the PSU was rated at 180 watts. It had a 2.8 P4 512Mb memmory 60Gig HD, burnrer, and CD-Rom. I said nothing to the lady but 180watt PSU seems a little light to me. Had 1 case fan on the back plane no CPU fan. Lots of duct work though. She said she paid around 2,000.00 for the machine? I fully understand office type units dont require 460Watt PSU's etc.
I would not buy one, but then again like most on this board I allways built my own>
