Too bad Dell won't sell me so much as a screw. They've had me blacklisted for several months now. :D

for what? reselling? that sucks you must've given them tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in business!

Are there any long time dell people that were converted to Dell who used to be home builders who figured out that that the time and energy going into home builds wasn't worth it but now feel that the core 2 duo is the first chip since the early 300A to 450 overclockable celerons that is worth actually abandoning Dell because running a core 2 duo at clock speed would be like driving a ferrari F50 at the speed limit and are actually excited about CPUs for the first time in years because the Core 2 can actually save significant time in video editing among other things?

holy run-on batman!!! :p
i like my E6300 in the XPs700, was thinking about upgrading to a E6600, but 6300 is so fast, i may hold out till QuadCore comes out

Yes. The DVD optical drive was/is a $70 upgrade when ordering/customizing a machine. My friend will get it for <$60 and I'll install it (instead of Dell).

Pretty good deal for my friend!
