Great Fun
Sorta. I've been playing with my new toys. Working out the bugs in the Dell was a bit of a pain but I had somewhat of an idea of what I was getting into when I bought it. Downloading drivers for the Dell turned into upgrading the BIOS. I got a decent deal on the machine and I'm happy enough but I would not recommend it to non-geeks.
I also bought a Medion from CompUSA. Yeah, a Disney computer: Don't friggin' laugh. For about $180.00 (tax and shipping inclusive) I got a backup computer that I would have had to pay around $300.00 retail for an eMachine with comparable spec's.
