Earlie,
"- In spite of their advertising, Dell is expensive. Many of us have been saying for many
months that the best way to buy a PC is to price with Dell and then buy at the local
cloner. The exact same box will cost hundreds of dollars less, and will be locally
serviced."

Not sure I agree there - you can buy cheaper at the local screwdiver shops but component quality takes a nosedive in my experience. Dell has only 8% margins so it's hard to undercut them by much.
