I agree. I've installed it several times, to test various configurations but it's never stayed installed longer than a week.

I safari'd around
Itune'd a CD
Macvidia'd the display

I guess I qualify as a geek. 2 PC's 1 ibook and several parts left over.

it's funny, people like that make it harder for companies to provide a quality product.

Memo to the Plantiff- Thanks alot for your continued impact on the general population. Each time I'm on my headset and can't turn the volume up any louder I'll thank you for protecting my hearing although I'm competent enough to use the volume buttons.

no way! 10 comments and it wasn't said! ok, here it goes:

"I for one, welcome our gun wielding voice recognizing overpriced overlords"


Oh, and just for good measure I�ll turn it into an apple fanboy post (I�m not a apple fanboy though i do own one) here goes: �If it runs windows it will have major security issues�


Now I�ve said everything that�s going to be said about this post�.let�s move on to the next one shall we?

@ 2,3,4....


That was the 1st thing i said. They should offer design choices.

ok ok ok, I was poking fun at 10 Grand on a Dell (factory supported box #27) It was intended as humor, Remember the MasterCard priceless commercials?

#26 & #27
No one is upset with the fact that some people have the money to purchase a 10K rig for gaming. However, those with that type of money for this MOST LIKELY will enjoy the build process. As any avid PC gaming pro will tell you, they will reformat and re-install the software and customize just about any other thing (hardware/software See POST #12)so they can get the ultimate performance for their needs.

-all-
Show me someone who drops 10K on a PC and doesn�t price it themselves and I�ll show you a fool!(a rich fool though ;-) )

Factory Support?
1 year warranty usually standard when you purchase the hardware.
Support? 1 year included (FROM DELL'S WEBSITE)
