My Sub-total $1,292.16 with a $200.00 mail in rebate
So 1092.00 after all is said and done.


any suggestions guys.
 
What do you need it to do?
How much can you spend?
Why did you choose Media Center Edition?
 
Well I can spend $1500.00

I will be using this to grade papers, create new courses, develop video and presentations that will be able to operate over a 56k modem and also a broadband connection. So basically it will be an all-around computer for developing education programs and supplemental material. It will need to be able to edit video, record video, edit audio, and be dependable and fast. My company has an account with Dell which is why I have to purchase it from them.

I went with media center because it will not cost me anything to add it tot he computer.


I should have explained a bit more sorry all.

My current computer is in my sig and I will be taking the 1TB of data and link that over the network so I have access to all the videos that are currently on it for my programs.

So this computer will be a video editor, audio editor, application intensive, and Maybe some gaming when I have time :)
