Well, I just discovered that through my new job, we get discounts at Dell. my roomie's new 1500 laptop can be mine for about 900........let's talk temptation! Fortunately, no spare money to play with right now.

Wise counsel! But, my Dell desktop has never caused me one iota of trouble. So, who knows? Right now, anything new is pure fantasy, truly, no money to play with!

Does yours make a rattling sound? I have an old Dimension 8250 that uses some weird fan attatched to a huge green plastic dam. Whenever I turn it on, it rattles like crazy. I've tried everything...kicking, duct taping the entire thing to the case, cleaning the fan...nothing works. I can't even replace the damn thing because of the way its attatched to the green dam thing. Apparently a lot of people with my model have the same problem...

Yeah, the fan rattles. I cured it by proping the front end of the tower up about an inch. Believe it or not, it worked. Mine is a Dell 8200 and other than that minor annoyance, has given me no troubles. Nothing like my old HP Pavillion.
