Glad you're happy with the new machine. I sent one back to Dell a couple of years ago due to noise. Sounded like a damn plane taking off. I was surprised that they gave me no problem at all...just send it back. I don't do much burning either and was surprised at how easy it was/is. I think I'm going to wait on one of those 64 bit monsters and longhorn for my next one. I'd love a new toy but just can't see where I need the latest and greatest at the moment.
