John, re > The other problem I see is that if you DO want to add peripherals, they cost MORE than if you just ordered a box with the peripheral built IN. Case in point - if you order an LS120 floppy drive in a Dell Dimension system, you can upgrade from the included floppy drive for 65 bucks. However, if you want an LS120 floppy drive for the web PC, Dell will gladly sell you one for 160 bucks.< This is a bad comparison in that when you upgrade the Dimension you are actually paying $65 and the standard floppy drive. $95 for a floppy drive seems a bit steep but your implication that Dell is charging $95 more for the LS120 if you order it for the webpc as opposed to the Dimension is simply false.
