It looks like a pretty solid starting platform but I don't know what video card comes with it. Did you already configure and price it or are you looking at the starting point and looking for options?

ok, they charge a hefty 1600 for the outfit that i think would be nice. for 900 you only get 80 gig hd, no dvd burner and a semi-decent video card. Their most reasonable outfit includes a gig of ram, 250 gig drive, dvd burner, nicer video card etc. but even though it includes a 19" monitor and its pre-built with support from dell etc, i say its overpriced by about $500. I built nearly the exact same computer, but with a different processor, for my friend here about a month ago for 800, no monitor.

Ok, I cannot customize the system. I think I am being redirected to a corporate account site since I'm on my work's intranet. Dell designs some pretty garbage websites.

ok, so with bare min upgrades, ( i think the video and the processor) it comes to like 1040. and then of course uve got shipping and whatever u decide to spend at newegg. not bad. i highly recommend getting the dual core. i really think its worth it.

last night i was very frustrated because i couldnt get my bluetooth pda to connect to my computer via bluetooth for the life of me. is there anyone else that has experience with this? Ben? u have a pda right?

With my phone, I can tooth stuff from my computer to my phone, but not from my phone to my computer.
What a problem child!

Hehe, tooth. That reminds me of those crazy British people and their "toothing". Although, knowing the reputation Americans have we're probably the ones who started it.
10/20/2005 10:00 PM
I totally forgot about that. Funny that you should bring it up....that sounds link a Ben comment! :-) j/k
10/20/2005 10:09 PM
Sorry Joel. I have no experience whatsoever (sp?) with bluetooth.
I do however have tons of experience with toothing. Haha just kidding. It turns out that toothing was a farce that a bunch of people in Britan made up for media attention. Too bad, I really wanted to try that.

Hey Jess, let us know if you get it. You'll have to show it off over christmas. Damn I'm gonna miss having the shortest loading times :P

Ohh yeah baby! I sure did! They are building it now and then it will be shipped on the 26th! Then I think it will be here the first week of November. It will aswome! The Duel Monitors, ohh baby!

The 9100 does look like quite the deal...you'd be the first one with dual cores! PCI express seems to be the wave of the future for vid cards too...highly upgradeable. So what'd you end up doing?
10/21/2005 1:39 PM
whoops, I didn't refresh before posting. Awesome buy Jess! I'm stoked for break. Will you be able to get anything done in school, lol?
10/21/2005 1:40 PM
No kidding Gabe? What did you get?
And for the conversation I did text message you about it!
And I hope to get work done!!! I have a recital coming up in 3 weeks!

I knew toothing was fake, but you insisted it was real Ben. It sounded a little too "out there", even for a Brit. :)

I was just so excited over the whole idea that I wanted to believe it :) I was very ashamed that I fell for such a stupid thing and learned a valuable lesson. Be analytical/critical of everything. Skepticism is one of life's most powerful tools of survival.

aye, thats the Ben I know...
