For $499 what do you expect, I mean it’s a decent 15" flatpanel and a decent PC for most people that browse the net… It’s a two/three year box, use it throw it away… You don’t need support it comes with a my shit is fucked up insert disc and fix CD. > [@huskysgrl](#): > > ^ and only a CD-ROM, no floppy drive, no speakers, a 56K modem. And guess what?! Dell’s Award Winning Service and Support!! :hahano: ---
