You'll notice that what you buy from IBM has nothing to do with what you buy from Dell. In particular, please note that you are apparently buying cheap Dell options and buying expensive IBM options. I'm trying to figure out why you are surprised that the level of service you receive with the expensive IBM options is better than the level of service you receive with the cheap Dell options. Do you think, perhaps, you are still getting exactly what you pay for? > Tyan Boards are VERY expensive.... $500... Because it is a Quad core > Xeon Main Board... They're expensive because they're a good-quality server board with lots of server features. The board you're trying to replace is likewise. > I am talking about a Xeon Board that is almost 4 years old... If you go looking for that same exact Tyan board, new stock, four years from now, *from Tyan*, you'll most likely be told it is not available *for any price*. Dell is stocking a four-year-old, new-old-stock part for you. You expect that to be the same price as... what, exactly? A used part broker? eBay? Again, if you really can get the motherboard for so much less than $200, *why don't you*? > At least Walmart will take them back withing 30 days. Wal-Mart return policy on computers is 15 days: http://www.walmart.com/returns Dell's return policy is 21 days: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/dells_sat_policy Hurt feelings indeed. It seems like you are determined to dislike Dell, regardless of any facts that might be in existence, and ignoring all logic. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
