Wait for parcel force to leave it behind the bin, or throw it over the fence into your back garden if you're out..  :blink:

In the long run it is best to upgrade to the onsite dell technician package. When i bought my dell the return to base package was ok but very clumbersome. Make sure if you have a bit of spare cash when the letter comes through asking you to extend your warranty do so as its really worth it! Nice specs tho arm! I am still trying to get my xeon computer fixed atm :(

We've got a witch!  A witch I say, BURN HIM !! He turned me into a newt, but I got better.  


Built a bridge out of him !

just gone for the 1 year warranty. extra year cost £160. so i dumped that and upgraded to graphics to a ATI X850XT. if/when it breaks. it will be time to upgrade. extended warranties seem the biggest cone going, unless you need a lot of help with software.
