Here is the comparison. The Compaq price has increased because I increased to 3 yr onsite warranty ($199 extra!) and added a LAN card. IMO 3 yr warranty is ridiculous, but DELL do not allow you to deconfigure this, so I had to add it to the Compaq in the interests of configuration parity. The DELL OptiPlex GX110 Small Form Factor: PIII 733 processor + integrated NIC GX110 comes standard with integrated 3Com 10/100Mbps Remote Wake-up capable ethernet controller and 4MB display cache. The 810E chipset employs integrated Intel 3D graphics with Direct AGP for vivid 2D and 3D effects. Additionally, Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology also allocates a portion of system memory for graphics and video operations, enabling equivalent performance of 8MB video memory. Memory: 64 meg Hard Drive: 13.6 GB UDMA IDE Monitor: 15" 13.5" viewable Optical Devices: 10/24 CDROM Sound Card: SB Live Value Speakers: Internal Dell Business Speakers Network Card: Integrated 10/100 Etehrnet Modem: Aztech V.90 PCI $2,358.00 The Compaq All as above, except AMD Athlon© Processor - 700MHz (doesnt say what MB) CD-ROM : 32x Speakers : JBL Pro amplified Modem: Generic 56K data/fax Sound Card: SB Live value Video: Voodoo 3 1000 16meg Networking: 10/100 10baseT PCI Ethernet Card $1,867.00 IMO the Compaq is still hands down winner on value.
