Where can I get a good PC equivalent to a Dell but cheaper?

It seems like all the Dell PC's include a monitor, which I already have! I think that boots the price up a little bit, so I am looking for something comparable.Where can I get a good PC equivalent to a Dell but cheaper?Cheaper than a Dell?

You can customize a Dell to not include a monitor in the price if you choose to not get it.Where can I get a good PC equivalent to a Dell but cheaper?Good value or not, you definitely won't find a Mac for less than a Dell, even on a good day. Look for a Dell on slickdeals.net that suits your needs, then sell the monitor on Ebay or buy another video card and enjoy dual monitors!



Alternatively, you can usually say "No Monitor" but it only subtracts $80 or so.Where can I get a good PC equivalent to a Dell but cheaper?
Since you have a monitor, try customize yourself, is easy.

Why does this Dell machine tell me that there is no hard drive installed?

I'm trying to install Windows XP on a Dell machine with Vista on it. After I boot from the CD it tells me that there is no hard drive installed. I went into the settings and sure, enough it's there. Is this a common problem when downgrading from Vista to XP?Why does this Dell machine tell me that there is no hard drive installed?I encountered this same problem when doing a similar "downgrade" although IMHO, I don't consider going from Vista to XP a downgrade at all! To get into your system BIOS press the F2 key when the Dell logo comes up. Next, scroll down the list to "onboard operations" press "enter" to expand the list, then scroll down to "SATA operations", press "enter" to expand and then change the selection from "AHCI" to "ATA" press "esc" select "save changes and exit" Notes: When you're ready to install XP from disc, you need to have the disc in the drive, then press F12 (in that same Dell start up screen) and select the second choice (CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive) and press "enter" and then when prompted, press any key to boot from the CD to start the installation. Also, before you start, make sure that Dell has XP drivers available for your particular unit. I hope this helps...

The Windows XP installation CD does not have a device driver for SATA drives, so you will need to download one from the manufacturer (Seagate, Hitachi, whatever. Your BIOS should tell you who made it.) and update the driver from a floppy disk. If you don't have a floppy disk drive, you might have to buy one just for this. Almost all SATA motherboards still have a plug for a floppy cable, and the drives are cheap enough. It is, however, a very annoying problem.Why does this Dell machine tell me that there is no hard drive installed?
Reformat your machine, then install windows Xp.

Why does my Dell Inspiron 1501 say battery could not be identified?

Why does the charger for my Dell Inspiron not charge my battery?

My computer originally came with a 65 watt charger but I purchase a higher wattage I believe 95 and it charged my battery when I first got it but now when I plug it in it says Dell doesn't recognize this charger. I can use the computer with the charger plugged in it just doesn't charge the battery. Its a Dell charger. Is there any way to fix it so it chargers my computer?Why does the charger for my Dell Inspiron not charge my battery?that guys kind of dick huh??? is he the charger police??

Your laptop stinks, thats why..Why does the charger for my Dell Inspiron not charge my battery?Well, first off, you are using the wrong adapter. I don't know what made you think you could just plug in a more powerful adapter... let me ask you. What is the Voltage and Amperage ratings on your 95 watt adapter? Is it the same voltage as the 65 watt, but just a higher amperage? Or did they increase the voltage AND Amperage to get that 95 watt rating?



You may have damaged your battery by pushing more juice through it/into it that was recommended. You may have damaged the charge sensing circuit on the motherboard by pumping higher than recommended voltage through it for an extended period of time. Or... your battery might just not be holding or taking a charge any more because of age.Why does the charger for my Dell Inspiron not charge my battery?Suppliers design every thing to suit properly for their product. Why did u go for 95 watts? It might have spoiled ur battery.Use a new battery %26amp; try.Also check the connectors, sockets, %26amp; plug.
