Know more about PC's than I care to
How come tests with similarly configured systems usually peg Dell's at the bottom or bottom middle of the performance pack?

Want to talk non-standard? Let's talk about Dell bastardizing the ATX specs so you have to go back to them for power supplies because they underspec them and once you upgrade a little bit you blow it?

Or their "tweaked" BIOS's on video cards and NIC's that require you to use Dell's drivers. Which tends to cause problems if you want to upgrade OS's. There have been documented cases of Dell refusing to provide XP drivers for those upgrading from, say, Win ME....

No thanks - they are GARBAGE and not worth the box they ship in.
