(...) Heh. I deal with dells at work, and I think _they_ suck. Nice case design, sub-par performance. (This is the optiplex line; others may be different.) (24 years ago, 4-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) ewewewewewew. Sorry, I have to deal with some gateways at work, and they all, without exception, suck.

All, I'm shopping for a new PC. My budget is <$4000, and I'm a student, so maybe I can get student discounts? I know I want a DVD-ROM and a CD-RW drive, but other than that I don't really know much other than I want it to be fast :) Stuff I use my (...) (24 years ago, 4-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
