down to the account managers you have. I love Dell, all of our servers are
Dells (both at work and my personal side business). Support has been nothing
but amazing with Dell. I personally hate CDW, mainly because of our account rep
trying to take us for every penny that he could.</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">What specs were you looking at? You can
get a dual xeon for less than $3k with Dell. They run specials all the time. If
you want to contact me off the list I can put you in touch with our reps at
Dell, JDMI, or HBS. </span></font></p>

There are a lot of different varibles. I know that if we had an account manager at Dell, my experience could have been different. I am willing to pay more for hardware to have the support that I want and that's why I use CDW. My account manager is great, and I paid an extra $400 per machine (over Dell's pricing) for this.
