Sounds like the Dimension 6100. I got one of those. Vista sucks, but they do have XP drivers; however, slipstreaming the onboard is kind of a bitch with this model, and I can't remember why.

Dell products are solid for the price, as is the support (never tried Dell Home, and I wouldn't suggest it). I haven't 'home-built' a computer for myself since 2003, and don't think I ever will, again.
