I've been playing with my new Dell E510 that came with 2.8 Ghz Pentium D 820 dual core processors, 800 front bus speed, total 2 GB L2 cache, 64 bit; 1 GB DDR2 533 Mhz speed SDRAM; 160 GB hard drive by Seagate, 7200 rpm w/8 MB cache; a 16xDVD ROM by ...

Pros: Good system, pretty good deal
Cons: Terrible customer service

The PC itself is a pretty good deal, though a little expensive for what you get. The customer service is unbelievably bad. I asked them to change my address at least 5 times and I still get letters from the wrong address. They don't send you a Windows disc and it has been impossible for me to format the computer. They load it up with tons of junk like AOL. I have probably made about 20 phone calls on this computer alone and almost everytime they transfer you back and forth and back and forth and you never get your problem resolved. The system itself has been fine, but the customer service makes it a bad purchase.
