Astalavista Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I attached a simple shread sheetto my last post.u dont need any brains to use it fill in the blanks make sure u compare apples to apples, oranges to orangesyour price for that case of your was 800 dollarsthe price of the dell is 1203 w/ monitor with video, with hard drives, with dvd burner. doesn't take a genius to figure out that the 800 dollardeal is not really a deal but a rip off.
