Got my new computer last week. It's a Dell 3000 with a 2.8 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4. It has 512 mb of memory and two drives, a 48X CD-ROM drive and a 48X CD-RW and DVD ROM combo. It has a 80 gb hard drive and it came with a free 17" monitor. Not bad for $474 plus tax. They even threw in free shipping. Also ordered a LaCie 16X DVD-RW and CD-RW combo external drive. It is USB 2 compliant and was $129 with no tax and free shipping direct from LaCie. It came in only 5 days after I ordered it too. This is a really nice unit and I highly recommend it for anyone planning to do some DVD recording.
