That shows your lack of intelligence. Dell recieves the same products
as everyone else for their computer components. I agree some of their
business tactics are tacky, especially when they get better deals on
hardware than most other computer makers, but they do have a business to
run after all. You have to give them credit for their success even if
you don't agree with how they did it.

Dell computers are excellent and inexpensive. You can pick up a brand
new, near top of the line computer for under $400! I picked up one of
my computers from Dell (400SC) for only $250 after a Mail in Rebate. I
tell you it works perfectly and I haven't had a single problem.

Sure outsourcing jobs takes away from the American economy (or so you
would think), but you also have a global economy to think of as well.
By hiring less expensive labor overseas for most of our products, we can
sell the products for less which saves the American from spending as
much as they would have to if the jobs were all based in America. Yes
the money is put into another country, but that allows them to purchase
our products as well. The problem usually occurs when they begin paying
overseas workers the same as they would pay American workers and/or the
other countries don't put the money back into the American economy.

I would love to see you build this system for less than $400:

Motherboard with an Intel i875G chipset
Pentium 4 2.8E GHz
512 GB of *Registered* DDR400
DVD-ROM\CD Writer Combo
80 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
And I paid $150 for a 17" LCD to finish the system.
