New Dell Computer
Got a new Dell 9100 3.0GHz Intel P4 64-bit processor based system with a 20" wide screen LCD for the wife for around $900, counting S&H and tax. That is pretty impressive. And the thing is QUIET. Wow. This allowed me to free up some of her aging hardware (and replace the Windows ME that she has been running) for my Mame Cabinet. And we now need to cobble together a system for our boys to use, since all the stuff Riley plays with ends up screwing up her computer.I also have the 19" Hitachi monitor that we got for Sarah a while back, and it is so big, that I just don't think it will work very well in Riley's bedroom. So, I'm really tempted to just sell it and buy another even cheaper $499 Dell system with a 17" LCD...

I just saw that Dell now has a Celeron 2.4GHz with 256MB of DDR400, Win XP Home, 80GB HDD, CDRW, builtin 10/100 Lan, 56K modem, 17" CRT monitor, PLUS a free printer for $299 (no rebates or anything). Wow. I can't touch that for something for the kids.
