i have had 2 dell systems in the past 2 years. The first worked well enough. the second i got would not work. After troubleshooting found out the ram was faulty and dell refused to do anything about. Then you get down to the fact that Dell messes with everything in the case (including the case itself) to make sure there is no way to customize or upgrade later. They want you to buy a new one instead. they normally only give you the smallest amount of pci slots so you can only fit what they put in. Then they make there motherboards so that it cant be put anywhere else. No piece of it works with anything besides a dell. I used to like dells but there really ruining there image and now that they bought alienware i see that going down hill as well.
