My new Dell

Anyone who knows me well knows that I have been ordering Dell computers consistently for the last 6 years... plus. In all, I have configured and ordered about 7 either personally, or for my company.
No matter what the stocks say or what you read in the press, Dell has consistently impressed me with every aspect of configuring, purchasing and receiving a new computer. All you have to do is add the 3-year next business day on-site service warranty. Expensive you say? A mere $100 extra. Worth it. I admit, I have used this many times. Particularly with some video cards whose fans kept burning up and making loud noises.
Everytime I had to have a replacement sent, they were out of my brand of card and so they sent the next best card--twice. Who would have a problem with that? In addition, I got to the point of saying "hey, just have the part sent next day and I'll install it myself." Whatever your jolly, it just works and damnit, when it comes to your computer, it needs to work, everyday.
So, with my latest order of a Precision 670 Dell that was not even supposed to ship until Jan. 22, this is the third time it showed up WAY EARLY and here I am typing on it. It's adorned with 2G of RAM, 3Ghz Xeon and 15,000 rpm SCSI drives, not to mention a phat-ass video card with 256M RAM onboard. Bitch be lookin' like a double-decker card sandwich witha fan blowin' down the middle of it. This time, all the money went into the box and I'm using my existing Sony 23" LCD Cinema display which I have no problems with. So there you have it people. I'm a consistently satisfied Dell customer.
