Doug - just go to their website and play around configuring
systems. You can get a Optiplex Gn Low profile Desktop,
166Mhz, 32MB, 2.1GHD, 24xCDROM, S3Trio64V2 w/ 2MB video,
USB, Win95, all the management goodies like DMI 2.0, ACPI
and APM 1.2, Ultra DMA, all for $1172 (monitor not included).
Their new NetPC is the same, minus the CDROM but with a
nice 15" monitor and wake-on-LAN for ~$1250.
It's designed as a corporate system and quite different from
a home system. For instance, did you know that systems designed
to be connected to a corporate net give NIC interrupts higher
priority so they can burst data across the PCI bus more
efficiently? Just a little tidbit for all the folks who
have trouble distinguishing between the home and business
PC.
Also, check out the value they offer at the high end for home
systems. Compare feature for feature against the competitors
and then look at the price. Educated repeat buyers will soon be buying more systems from Dell.
Cheers,
