Just ordered a new computer!

Looks like a decent machine for what you probably paid for it. Only problem I see is the "D-E-L-L" on the front of the case!

I am somewhat bias as I had issues with an Inspiron 5100 laptop a few years back. The HDD would crash about once a month and I had to wait 2 weeks to have a replacement shipped to me. I guess they figure (as more and more companies are doing these days) that you can sell low-quiality stuff so long as it has a good warranty. Again, this is IMO.

I'd like to see the pics when you get it. Do you have any case mods planned for it? I know Dell doesn't offer CCFL light or anything like that...

I'm a complete computer novice so I don't really plan on mods. My parents paid for this, so I dont want to do something wrong and ruin it. However, I might upgrade the graphics card to an ATI Radeon HD4850 if the 3650 isnt enough.

Thats too bad you had a bad experience with Dell. We bought a Dimension 2400 5-6 years ago and it has never had any problems. It still runs fine today, its what Im using right now. This is why I wanted another Dell.

I was also looking at a Razer Lycosa keyboard and a Lachesis mouse, anyone have experience with them?
