Talked to Dell this weekend, they said 5 days to build & ship
(not including shipping time).
Yup, after listening to all the wisdom on this thread about how a cheap
box is good enough, I'm probably going to spring for a PII with a monster
hard drive, humongous monitor, 64MB SDRAM, etc etc, just so I
can word process and surf the net! And of course I am getting a totally
standard Intel motherboard to ensure upgradability, and AGP graphics
card even though nothing of interest uses AGP yet, and I'm buying
from Dell because they have a good rep for reliability and service
and get high ratings from all the mags they advertise in.

But whaddaya want... I get a 270 MHz Ultrasparc with no monitor...
only 3 grand in the latest PC World advertisement....? No, I must
join the Borg! Didn't their stock dip lately... hmmm.... -g-
