Configure this without the monitor to drop it to 239.99
Duo core 2.0
2 Gig ram
250 gig serial drive
Ripped from Bens. Seems like a good deal.

It's a fine price for a budget machine, but it's already last generation's processors. If you understand what you're getting yourself into, it's a deal. It would probably make a fine backup PC for the kids or something, but I'd want something more heavy duty as a primary machine.
That being said... a deal is a deal, and this is probably a deal.

Similarly ripped from FW.
The thing I hate about my older Dell system now is the following
They have only 2 SATA ports, and no way of mounting more than 2 drives.
I can not make it into my NAS or MCE box without buying larger drives.
wat am I missing?

So if my current PC is a several-years-old Dell P4 2.4GHz 640MB RAM w/ Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB AGP, would this deal be a good backup PC for me? 
(and yes, this is truly my current PC, and I even managed to play the Crysis demo on it)

Dude...I write software for a living and still use an 800Mhz W2K machine for developing. but, I do have 2GB of RAM in it.
It's just the Dog "Vista" that makes people need these newer machines! Also, if you want to play any modern games a new, powerful, system is a must.

Heh, I'm still pimping an athlon XP in my desktop.
/On the Dell site, the image says "for illustrative purposes only". So, err, what does the box actually look like?
/laptop is a core 2 duo

An aux RAID controller card and double sided foam tape will solve the drive controller and drive mounting problems...you could put 3 laptop drives in just one unused floppy bay.
I'm with you ... I have an athlon 2600 desktop ($20 from Goodwill) that does fine with XP Pro ,, until 2 years ago I still had a 486/100 machine (PS2 MDL 70 with the "BERMUDA" motherboard) around to program IC's with as it had the absolute most stable power supply and I/O ports you could find. I don't do "trendy" or gamer systems ... Use what works.
Does anyone know if this baby comes with a DVI out port?
I want to connect it to my HDTV from DVI to HDMI.
Thanks!
KEY POINT: The BIOS of this machine can be reloaded to enable RAID 0, 1 which makes it better than the Dell SC440 servers.
Plenty of horsepower for a Home Media Server, but I need to mount five hard drives somehow. Doesn't look like this case is nearly large enough for that, or I would be all over this.
did you put the vista recovery dvd on this yet?
