I ordered virtually the same PC as our scribe, and had a totally different experience.
I was prepared for no IDE ports, and made sure that I could transfer my material.
It was delivered one day early, no problems (my doorbell works).
I was a bit taken aback with no serial/parallel ports, but got an adapter so my older printer works.
There is no noise problem with the computer at all; it's quiet as a mouse.
I've not yet had to contact them with any problems, but with my previous Dell PC (still going after 3+ years) when I did have a problem they were gracious and helpful.
I don't need a Firewire, but have one on my sound card. Which installed beautifully in place of the one Dell sent with the machine.
I will buy a Dell again (I have a Mac, three Dells, and a Rock) when and if I need my next computer. The transition was almost painless from older Dell to new Dell and I got everything I wanted.
