I can still beat Dell's prices, but only by about $100 (this is a NICE machine, not one of the cheap $300 "specials"). I use a local computer store, Fry's Electronics (a bit of a drive, but worth it), and a few websites...
But, Del's computers come with support, warentees, all that extra software joe schmoe will never use, and other stuff.
Makes you wonder, though. They probibly get all their stuff OEM, if I can buy it retail for $100 less than they sell it for, just how much are they pulling in (rectorical question, BTY)?
