New computer is arriving...
K Frame:
I have a Dell Dimension 2400 and a flat panel monitor coming.
It will be a nice upgrade from my old Gateway Celeron 366, which is, in computer year, about as old as you can get.
Best part of it is that my employer offers a 70%, interest free loan for the purchase of computer equipment, with repayment spread over 2 years.
Price for the system (I didn't have any software installed other than Word Perfect, is about $630. Even got it with free shipping.
Schuey2002:
What size flat panel did you get? 15/17/19"??
K Frame:
17"
$239 from Dell.
I would have LOVED to have gone 24", but I don't have that kind of money just sitting around right now.

I will never buy a premade desktop again. So much easier for me to have parts replaced under their manufacturers warranty, than to spend hours on the phone confirming what I already knew was wrong with Dell, only to have them say they won't swap out the part, I have to send the entire unit back.
Plus, I question the motherboards that are used in those things. Way too much blocked off to keep a tinkerer like me from playing with settings to optimize it.

Thanks for harshing my buzz.
