Glad you got the machine you wanted Posh. The biggest I have with Dell's is cooling. Might want to take a look at a liquid cooling system for it.

As long as it WORKS. I'm happy.

Cool. Let us know how it goes when you get it.

New computers are always exciting :cool:

If not properly cooled, they tend to stop working. That is the problem with Dells.

How hard is it to get a wireless internet working? I didn't do it on my old comp, so i dunno how to do it. Is it difficult?

I set one up on mine, Posh and I'm not exactly an expert. It was pretty easy. The hardest part was deciding with wireless router I wanted to go with and making sure that when I went with the super fast one that I got the plug in cards (even though all my comps had wireless cards) so that it could operate at the faster speed. The only problems I had were when I was setting up the security. It's okay if you're only using one comp, but if you try to set it up for more than that to use it regularly you have to go through a bunch of extra steps. The password stuff doesn't always work when you want to allow another on so you have to reset a bunch of stuff on the other comps to allow them to access the random IP address.

That doesn't sound too hard. We have the router and everything, i just have to set it up.

Let us know what network configuration you want, what components you have, and I am sure between all of us we can figure it out!:)
