The facts, in my case, are that the 15 percent that I might pay for Dell
over SAG (I couldn't find telenet) is worth it to me, because, over the
past five years, Dell has really stood by their machines. I have purchased
about 50 Dells and speced hundreds. We have had a DOA machine, which was
replaced the next day and we have had machines fail in the last month of
warrantee, but the service has been great. The phone support is also
great, but the best thing, from my perspective, are the setup and
configuration utilities and instructions which ship with the
machines. These save hours on machines with complex setups and greatly
simplify management.
A few years ago we were buying (on the NT side) a mix of IBM, HP, Compaq
and Dell. We whittled it down to just Compaq and Dell and, now, we are
buying Dells almost exclusively.
SAG, BTW, charges about the same price for RAM as Dell
