I'm not sure how well this will paste in, but here goes. Oh, before
the big ugly paste, the cost was 3060. The system is _super_ quiet,
except when it starts up. But in general, it makes next to no noise.
The system is also quite big. Like other Dell systems, the case is
super easy to get into (no need for screws) and super easy to add
stuff in. I made the mistake of not getting a floppy drive, which
meant I couldnt install the SATA drivers when I tried to go up to XP
Pro, but I just stuck with XP Media Edition and I'm fine with it. I
also didn' t supersize the hard drive since I have a 250 gig external
drive for all my... um... stuff. The system has a very nice headphones
jack in front, along with a few usb ports in front too (but with my
dell monitor, I probably have like 6 USBs ports close to me, not
counting the ones in the back.)
