'k, this is exactly the thing that I'd heard about the Desktops ... and 
was curious about concerning their server offering ... you mention further 
up in your response that this was 'a little while back' ... how long ago, 
and can anyone here comment on whether or not this is still the case with 
Dell?

Pricing things out through the web sites, Dell is definitely the 'cheaper 
brand', at least in comparison to HP ... so will I end up "getting what I 
paid for" with the cheaper Dell, and regretting it, or ... ? :(
