The Dell does look pretty sweet with the free shipping and the 100$ rebate, plus a flat screen. A couple of things though, I would think about replacing the video card it comes with and maybe a bigger monitor if you want to play games. That's a good speed processor, lots of RAM and a big (40gb) hard drive. The sounds might be a little weak also. No big deal though. Seems like a pretty decent deal, I might use some of my bonus $$$ I just got and get me a Dell. I would probably get the warranty though... at least 2yrs. movement - that sucks about your experience with Dell. My professional and personal experiences have been very good.
