Hello all
I am purchasing a new computer for college next year, and need to know if this following purchase is a good deal, or should I wait?
(also, does dell.com put out cheaper, or more expensive computers in the summer/fall for upcoming students?)
$750 (after rebates) for the following:
Dell dimension 4700
Intel pentium 4 processor 530 w/HT technology (3 GHz, 800FSB), microsoft home edition, 512 MB dual channel memory, free 720 color inkjet printer, dell multimedia USB keyboard, dell 2-button scroll mouse, no productivity suite (i can purhcase this cheaper through my college), mcafee securitycenter with virusScan and firewall and spyware removal (BTW, i need firewall, is this a good firewall, or should i get nortons?), 80GB harddrive, 48X CD-ROM drive (i have a seperate DVD drive for myself already purchased), and a free 19 inch Analog flat panel (is analog significantly worse than digital?) and speakers with subwoofer.
