Why stuck with brand name?

>>Look at the Dimension 2300 for $699. It is a P4. A few weeks ago you could get a Dimensio 4500S for $699 and a 50.00 rebate (I bought one for my mom) but that deal seems to be over already.

>That machine has Win XP Home and only 128MB of RAM. When I hit customize, I bump memory up to 256MB SDRAM [add $40], change the operating system to Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional¹² [add $99] and remove the 15" monitor [subtract $80]. Now it is $758.00 which still sounds good. I have been told that the Dimension won't have as good a motherboard as the Optiplex. I'm not sure what difference that makes. Many Optiplexes don't have many expansion slots. The Optiplexes use DDR memory instead of SDRAM.

>Many of the refurbished OptiPlexes in my price range have plenty of RAM but lack a modem and have on-board sound and video, which I'm told isn't so good for video. I suppose that if I want something in particular, I should just keep checking until they have a refurbished system that has what I need and not what I don't.
