Dell PCs are fucking slow, both in delivery and performance. Have to reinstall that shit once you get it, the amount of bullshit software they put into these PCs makes a dual centrino seem like a C64

I'm of quite a different opinion with Dell.

Started using them about a 1 year ago, maybe a bit longer, and have had nothing but great experiences...

I've order 3 systems total now, 2 pdas, 3 monitors, and couple of printers etc... All of them are to me very quickly.

Customer service admittedly could be better as far as tech support goes, but comparitely to experience with Sony, and Gateway, they rocked.

It's just a piss off, normally places take 2 days to fucking process and send your order, this shit has been in production since the 25th.

serioulsy, it does not take that long to build a PC.

what is the most piss off is that my PC is basically fuxored, now i have to sit on my mac for the next 2 weeks waiting for this bullshit, never again will i order from them. it says "2-5 day shipping" not, "we take a half a month to get your PC built and then shipped". GRRRRRR

all of my servers arrive with in about 3-4 days if not 2 days day to prep and dovernight. get yourself someoen with a enterprise reseller free overnight shipping and you can get things bumped into the priority queue.

Though if they are short of a product like the 850's were on a two week backorder about 3 weeks ago then your screwed and have to wait.

They usually show up before that date. I think they jsut give a long shot date incase problems arise.

Build it your self and have a lot fewer upgrades from the motherboard manufacturer.

It doesn't work, a brand name offers support to help:
Even if isn't the best or in a third world country some support beats no support.

I could go on and on, but think you get the idea.

I think they over predict on purpose. Every time I have ordered from Dell they give a 3 week estimation and I have it sitting in my living room within a week. I've always been impressed with their speediness. This includes 2 desktop computers, a laptop, a monitor, a MP3 player, and 2 different parts orders. All separate orders, all within a week.

If you know what you are doing, then you build your own machine, and it's easy enough to keep up on all of those things. But that's just me.

Plus I can build a better machine, with higher end parts for the same or less money than a subpar system off the rack somewhere else.

I too could go on and on about why you should build your own if you know what you are doing, or want to research it.

ive ordered about 50 grand worth of shit from them for myself and clients.

their customer service at times has sucked cock (outsourced to india) but theres a trick to getting good service -

you must ask for an american rep during US business hrs.

also when your a preferred mothefucker like me, they dont fuck around and actually have a preferred cust serv rep they connect you to instantly-

dell also sends you kick ass coupons - this week i got a 35% off coupon plus they gave me another 10% because i was a preferred customer.
