I sure do miss the Dimension B110 with 19" LCD for $349 deals

However this is a P4/1GB vs Celeron/256MB.

 

[csmaster2005]

exactly. I bought the b110 as well for the monitor, still gota get around to ebaying it. I just need another monitor that is the exact same, so I can run dual screens on same computer

Not bad, may have to pick this up. I just can't build a machine as cheap as Dell can.

Especially when you factor in the legal Windows XP license and 1 year support.

Thanks. Not too bad. Expiration date not found, so I don't know when this pricing will end.

I was going to buy one of these with dreams of putting in a awesome graphics card and even perhaps a RAID controller... but alas, from: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/buyer/reviews/83738/dell-dimension-3100.html


"motherboard has no AGP or PCI-Express 16x slot for a graphics card, you can't replace the graphics card with anything better. For a system designed for home entertainment, this is a serious"

Isn't the 3100 chassis ATX? couldn't you replace the mobo with a much nicer ATX board and it would still be cheaper than you could build it for?

I ordered one for a church family and boy am I glad I took the $70/3 years warranty! I think this would be a wonderful computer for kids around the house.
