<br>_______________________________________________</blockquote><div><br>I haven't had a chance to read the other thread, sorry if this is redundant. I just wanted to point out that with some products - CPUs and hard drives in particular - OEM units usually have a shorter warranty than retail units. And if you buy a Dell with a maxtor drive, it's covered by Dell's warranty, not Maxtor's. You can contact Maxtor tech support and they'll tell you to go screw (in nicer terms) and call Dell.
