Re: "Doesn't Dell work on a pure BTO model, which would mean that Dell needs assurance from its suppliers that the parts they order will be in on time?" Actually the amazing thing about Dell is (I think) if you go to their website, it guides you to one of maybe 8 or 10 standard boxes depending on your preferences. The vast majority of users go with one of these preset configurations. Dell WILL build a computer to order, but most buyers think they are getting a custom box even though it's really pretty standard. Kevin
