Arrg! Dell! LOL ;-)
A good idea but I want to walk into the store, hand over my bit of
plastic and walk out carrying my new purchase.
Besides that Dell have a very poor reputation for customer service in
the UK.
But thanks for posting the link.

Send me your CC details, and I'll buy a bunch of different systems and
evaluate them for you and make a recommendation based on my
experiences. ;-)

Sure, that’s a good idea but you will have to wait a bit. I’ve just
depleted my account by transferring money to the Oyibo bank of Nigeria
as it seems that an uncle, I’ve never met, has died in a plane crash and
left me 6 million USD. ;-)

No. I think poor customer service from Dell is pretty much global,
Definitely not limited to the UK by any stretch. ;)
