Dell doesn't make the hard drives
So, I got a new work computer. It's a Dell. The first thing I always
do with a new computer, particularly a Dell, is reinstall a generic
copy of windows and partition the drive. I try to do that. BSOD.

At the time of the order, I believe you can order the backup CDs for a
minimal cost.
You can also call Dell and bitch to them and they'll likely send you
the discs. I bought a laptop from them last April (2005), and had to
call and complain about the lack of software on CD. They finally

Download your drivers.
Honestly, I hate it when people talk smack on Dell. I have like 4 of their
boxes and never have any problems with them.

slipping. Maybe it's because they're offering the low end versions
that everybody seems to buy. I don't know of anyone with a dell

I just went though a similar process of reinstalling the software on a
couple of del servers I bought a year ago. They came with a CD with
all the drivers though. I got all the drivers and also the SATA
drives going without much trouble. Just a couple of google searches
got me all the info I
It's an Optiplex Gx280, which I now have back at my desk. Of course,
I've now also had my administrative rights taken away and no software

Even besides the warranty, that's a problem for me... OpenGL support on ATI
cards is subpar.
Mine does 1920x1200.
I'm not sure about the warranty stuff. All of our work goes through
