Choosing the Sprite Computer for You

Hold on to your Christmas liripipe, it's the Dell Dellf!

I'm the IT go-to guy at the office — in fact, I just finished a year-end report on the company's computing needs, happily referring to myself as "this department" — and since 2001, I've become a disciple of DIY. When it comes to laptops, Dell Inc.'s esteem has risen above Gateway's as far as our office is concerned, but since I can price out a no-monitor desktop using high-grade components from NewEgg for $800 and a similar Dell system runs over $1,300, I don't think even the gorgeous little Dellf can sell computers to hobbyists who build.

Having said that, she certainly makes computer-shopping easier on the eyes.
