I think the main issue to contemplate is how confident do you feel that you can get the required drivers from Dell without going through some giant shitstorm when you reinstall? Building from components is cheaper, especially if you don't value your time.
Well I got a dell laptop and they gave me 4 CDs with all the drivers included. Unfortunately, they're all the drivers for all of Dell's laptops so I had to call tech support to find out which ones to install and in which order. Other than that, hard drive wipes and re-installs have been relatively painless.
If you're getting a desktop, the only use I see in getting a Dell is getting their 3 year breakage plan so when your DVD drives (or whatever else) break down you can have a free replacement within a week (but the replacement parts are always refurbished, never new.)
Also bear in mind that while Dell has gobbled up alienware, their bottom tier computer lines (like the Inspiron) are still easily breakable pieces of shit. |

You can probably talk them into doing the labour for free... by Jerry Whorebach 04/24/2007, 9:00pm PDT 
Maybe you can get somebody to put it together for a Dark Crusade CD key. NT by motherfuckerfoodeater 04/25/2007, 7:20pm PDT 
Does Jerry have Dark Crusade? If so, he should give up his CD key. NT by Jhoh Cable o_O 04/25/2007, 8:42pm PDT
