Larry, as a long time friend of yours, please buy only custom built computers 
from now on and leave the off the shelf crap on the shelf.
My new unit from last year was $1200 including shipping from S.F. down here to 
S.D. I'll look the specs up on mine and send them to you.
I got it through a long time friend that also is good friends with our Bill.

I'll call or email you tomorrow .......

Rich

  Subject: [thebullhornsbest] Dell computers


    
        After spending over 100 hours (not an exaggeration) with Dell technical 
support during the past two (2) months trying to resolve hardware problems with 
my Vostro 420 system, and after having technical support come to my residence 
on 4 separate occasions to replace the motherboard, the ram, the power supply 
and finally the video card, I still have a non-working computer.  The PSU was 
DOA.  The refurbished video card lasted all of 4 hours before dying.  I spent 
from 4:30 p.m. until nearly 7:30 p.m. on the telephone trying to resolve the 
latest problem(s) with the unit with no success.  In the process, the on-site 
technical support managed to damage (fry) a $1,500.00 MO drive while installing 
the PSU.  I cannot strongly enough disrecommend Dell computers based upon this 
experience.

        Sincerely disgusted,  

        Larry Southerland

        P.S.:  I am writing this on my Toshiba notebook computer.
