I just convinced my boss to replace an existing machine here at work and add a new one (which will be mine). Dell's Small Business division isn't half bad, at least to the guy I talked to. We got a pretty good deal too..
DIM 4500
P4 2.4B 533
512MB DDR (1 DIMM) *(I had to talk and talk to the salesman and tell him we only wanted one DIMM. Finally, he gave in once I debated if the motherboard supports 1G, then why couldn't we get a 1 512MB chip and keep a slot open for future upgrades?)
Dell QuietKey 104
Video Ready W/O Monitor,DIM2,XPS2
64MB GF4 MX 420 W/ TV out (we don't do ANYTHING 3D related here in the office mind you!)
40GB ATA-100,TIED (more than enough actually for what we do -- all web based stuff...)
3.5IN,1.44MB,FD
Win XP HOME, ENG, DIM,TIED (will wipe and install XP Pro legit version we have in the office)
Dell Support 1.2, Dimension,TIED
Dell Application Back-UP CD,FACT
Dell 2-button scroll mouse,DIM
10/100 PCI NIC
No modem requested
48x CD-ROM
Integrated ADI 1885 Audio,TIED
No speaker requested, Dimension
MS WorkSuite 2002
NBD,DIM,BSC,INIT YR,BSD
NBD,DIM,BSC,2 YR EXT,BSD
1050.36 plus MAIN IN REBATE $150

My workstation is the same except we got XP Pro on it since we don't have a Windows version for it, and we also got a 17" Dell monitor.
1272.43 plus MAIN IN REBATE $150
I think me talking to the guy and requesting custom on almost everything helped a bit, but the price is pretty good IMHO. These computers will basically be surfing the web (mine might be doing some misc stuff 😛) so they should fare well.
