Dell Inspiron 600m. Basic model... 40 GB hard drive, wireless, etc. $426 shipped

Dell offers free shipping right now. Pretty nice unit for the price. Go get one!

I just got a d600 from DFS (same mobo & chassis as 600m) P-M 1.7ghz, 1GB, 100GB 7200RPM, SXGA, DVDRW, and so far spent less than 700 in total

Mine is about 2 years old with 1 year of accidental coverage left......got the upgrades off ebay and newegg. 7200rpm pwn the 4200 that come with these. If I smash the system out of anger dell will send me a new unit and have it there the next day :P

The video card sucks and I cant run Vista very well though.


but yeah...go uh buy a dell because 30% of my bonus next month is based strictly on the companys revenue

Go Dell. Got two desktops. Dell Dimension 8200 2.4ghz and still going strong. The other one is a dimension 4550 2.66 ghz. Never had a problem with either one.

You'd be pleased with me, Hans. I think that I have purchased 11 or so Dells in the past 2-3 years, mostly for family members

Wish I would have bought 600m'* instead of the 1200 and 2200s (my wife is getting the 600m) but they are all decent.
