Dell D9200/XPS 410, C2D, 2.13Ghz, 2G RAM, XP, + extras... $395

Quote from gnome:
No. I bought the Vostro to run only one monitor and a dedicated task. I knew it has a cheap mobo and all, but it'll do for its intended use.
I've run 6 monitors off of the D9200... it does not have a cheapo mobo.
More...

after recommending hundreds of people to buy Vostro , now you tell them it has cheapo mobo.

Surely your argument has more teeth than that?...

You've made a statement out of context which smacks of slander. You make it sound like I've been ranting, "Vostro is the greatest for everybody.. buy Vostro", and you know I never said that.

I've got a Vostro, so it's OK... especially for 1-2 monitors. Some have said they can't get an Nvidia NVS 440 quad to run on it... others have said they've had trouble running a 2nd video card... but for 1-2 monitors and if you need ony 2 PCI slots, it's OK.

And it DOES have a cheapo mobo (as do the Inspirons + most of the OEM computers from HP, Compaq, Gateway, etc)... if you want to save money, you go with that. If not, you move up to another for $500 or so more money.

I always get annoyed when people try to sell used pc's and brand new pc prices...

The $449 option with a $40 processor upgrade is a slightly better *NEW* (with a meaningless 1 yr warranty) machine with a 20" monitor for $90 more than your price with much cheaper shipping.

With barebones hard drive and video card, it's worth $275 tops.

The D9200/XPS 410 is no longer available... closest is the XPS 420.... and making reasonable adjustment for hardware differences... an equivalent, new XPS 420 would cost about $950.
