IMO
Dell is extremly expensive when compared to buying your own parts and building it. MSY is by far the cheapest place to buy computer parts and if you don't know how to build the computer just pay them $70. www.msy.com.au

Dell.

Selling Islamic PCs since 1994

Mate, you seem to be overly hateful towards Muslims, and by the looks of it, you're gonna become a teacher. You do know that you will inevitably run in Muslim kids when teaching, and I was wondering if you would be racist to them?

dell's over the phone customer service is a bit tedious, but for part replacement/hardware repairs they're really good. We had a dell (this was a few years ago mind you, bought it in 2000), hard drive broke in about 2004 (5 year warranty, and it only had windows ME on it). Phoned dell, a couple of days later a technician arrived with a new hard drive, installed it with a free copy of windows XP on it.
