You should have built the computer yourself. Ordering parts takes approximately two works days, building less than 8 hours.

I would LOVE to build my own, but I'm not that advanced... I doubt that it would even startup if I built it. Plus, if someting goes bad, it would be up to me to fix it... Where as with Dell, I can have someone come to ME, and fix it here. So it's also a time issue. I know what parts look like, but putting them in the right place....  :-/  Plus the power supply... I know where that goes, but I have to figure out how to get it installed without killing myself... Too much work at this time. Eventually, when this new computer is obsolete, then I probably WILL build my own...  ;)

And take pictures of the still dust free fans. You'll never see them as clean as they are now ever again.

Yeah thanks! I'll have a look at that... We'll see... it might not last for too much longer than 2 weeks... The stupid computer came with McAfee Security Center, which I [glb]HATE[/glb] , and I'm taking that off, and installing Norton systemWorks. We'll see how the computer reacts...
