Thanks Rudedog, If the onsite is 30 bucks more for the first year, then that puts the prices at $2064 for the Dell XPS-R and $2129 for the CPQ Prosignia 330, with 3 year warranty for both, 1 year onsite service. Jim says the Dell machine is $1996, but I basically copied my pricing right off the Dell site, so I stand by those numbers. Interesting thing is, I noticed and mentioned in my post to Jim the difference in lease prices, if they are equivalent leases then you save an additional 250 bucks or so with the CPQ machine over the life of the lease...

Thanks dog for the double check on service policies. I believe John was selecting the DVD option and comparing it with the CPQ CDROM option. The price differential is then 9.7% in favor of DELL. By the way when I last checked with CPQ they would not guarantee that their onsite service would be next day. So it looks like their service is not as good as DELL's in that respect. I get about a 10% price advantage for DELL in the desktop PC's. Somtimes this is as much as 14%. Impeach Ekhard Pfeiffer!
