Re: New Dimension order

Christoper, The price includes a 22" monitor. I never said I had no complaints. I
have spent half my life "fixing" this computer. I was a Pediatric Nurse. I had a car
accident and needed surgery. So I researched the "best doctor in New York" and he
made a big mistake. It is doubtful I will be able to go back to work. I will be
spending a lot of time on the computer. Large pictures, graphics, movies. I apologize
if I did something wrong. You were very helpful. I had no idea how massive a machine
it was, physically. I appreciate your help.

ginny, sorry that i bothered to try to help you. you ask about comment of
your choice of system for replacing a 10 year old machine that you still use
without complaint, you offer no insight on your intended future use so one
can only assume that your needs are quite basic, and you cough up a top of
the line system configuration that lacks a monitor (hence why everyone
thinks that there was no monitor included in your configuration) and fish
for comments. you do the math. good luck.

You must be kidding. What am going to do with that machine you put
together? Where is
the room for expansion? Where are the 2 dvd/cdrw drives, $500 is a very
nice price
but you get what you pay for. How do you know that the xps is not as good
as the
xpst, if this is the kind of machine you use.

i think it is excessive for someone that has been content with using a
ten
year old pc to spend $2,400 for a replacement that does not even include
a
monitor. i assure you that there is no new computer that is going to
last
you ten years or is built as well as the t450 was. besides, the current
xps
(no relation to the old other than the three letters) is physically huge.
here's what i would suggest...


http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l=en&oc=bpdeffe&s=bsd
upgrade to the e4600 for $49. xp pro for $99 (if you really need pro,
which
i highly doubt, home is fine), 250gb for $25, dvdrw for $10, and a
speaker
bar that clips on the bottom edge of the monitor for $29 and you total is
$711 and that includes a monitor.

I ordered a new Dell Today. I have a Dimension XPS T450, Windows98se,
that
I bought
10 years ago. I was down to 394 mb, and with the help of the Windows 98
general help
group, I am up to 3.24GB. But it took almost 5 days.
So it's time for the new. Please look this over and see if it will be
relatively
problem free. I am thinking of ordering a 'Seagate Free Agent Pro
USB/Hard
e
SATA/FireWire external hard drive(750GB) to transfer my data and store
data.' I am
going to do it myself.
