i have finaly spent some money on a new pc. my old 1.7ghz p4 is starting to look a bit dated.

so i have gone for a
 
Dell Dimension XPS Gen-4
Pentium 4 3.40GHz, 800FSB, 2MB cache
1024MB PC-4200 Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz
160GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive with 8MB DataBurst
256MB ATI Radeon X850XT Platinum
19" TFT screen

and now the luck bit. Delivery should take 7-10 working days. day 10 will be Lan Friday. EEK.

so everybody cross your fingers for me :)

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 :(

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.
