I wanted a new PC, so I bought a Dell from the Dell Factory Outlet with a heck of a deal.

It was a good buy from them, and I had a successful buy from them with my old Optiplex PII-450 (which is now the Diginexus Oracle Names Server).

I got a 1Ghz PIII with 256MB SDRAM, 20GB HD, 12X DVD, SB Live!, GeForce2 MX with 32MB RAM, and a 17" monitor for $1239 SHIPPED. I am adding on a CD-RW drive for about $135, and using my digital camera as a web cam, and buying a nice net card for $25 or so. I'll be running Windows 2000 Professional and Linux on it, and will add a 80GB 7200RPM HD when they come down in price.

All in all, Dell offers a way better deal than anyone else because that warranty is their factory warranty. Therefore, I bought one.
