HEY....whoa there....don't make generalizations about Dell hardware just
because you may have had a bad personal experince. I've got a Dell 450 PII
here in the office. It has a Western Digital HD, Riva TNT video card, USR
X2 modem, etc. Not exactly no-name components (and certainly supported).
;-)
I'd say if you can look inside the box and verify that it looks like quality
components, go for it.
As for being hard to use, I can't recall any problems. And I had one of my
off-the-shelf network adapters installed and functioning in about 10
minutes.
I can't give >any< compelling reason not to buy the machine.
