Dude, I got a Dell! (Please humor me)

[Floogeldy]

My old HP started acting very strangely, so I backed everything up and ordered a Dell. Two days later, my old HP died a peaceful death.

It came today, the day after the HP died! Dell had a screaming deal through Dec.22:

$449 for a 2.8 chip, 256 ram, 40 gig hard drive, bla bla, AND A FREE 17" FLAT PANEL MONITOR. The catch is that there is no internal modem ($20 extra) and the warranty is only ninety days(can buy extended for $53). Also, you have to ask about the $200 in rebates and probably jump through some hoops to get it.

As long as the rebates come through, this is great.

I'M A HAPPY HAPPY COMPUTER BOY!

1. I miss that guy - I never got sick of his ads

Congratulations - there's nothing like a new computer, eh? I love setting it up and getting it going!

2. New Computer = Greatness

Beat of luck! :)

7. Yea

Correction: It was $499. I paid extra to double the RAM, added a DVD ROM, bumped the processor up to 3.0, and the modem.

Note: Dell is hiding this deal on their website. But you can go to www.dell.com/smb/499dimension and find it.

I thought I would never watch a movie on my computer but when I found this monitor taking up practically my whole field of vision, I went out and rented three movies tonight.

Yea, it is exciting. Being on the computer is my life.

Thanks for understanding.

8. Great deal.

Wish I had the cash for a new computador. :D

12. Oh, I was happy with my old computer

I'd still have it if it did not die. I came into the cash under sad circumstances, too. I wish none of it had ever happened, but the comp is great.

3. Dude, I've been working for UPS and you have NO CLUE how many Dells

Anyway..... Enjoy you're new computer! :D

11. I'm sorry

Dell is really stupid for doing that.

5. Dude, I got an iBook!

I considered a PC format laptop until I used a friend's Mac. I love the O/S and the graphic interface. Additionally, it's much more stable than Windows. Good luck with the new purchase.

6. Dell is a Repuke!

9. Upgrade it to 512MB of RAM and you'll be set. I prefer emachines or

home-built though.

10. BRAVO! I got a christmas deal with them when my compaq died.

<insert moment of silence here>

1 gig of ram
