Thanks for all the input guys. Seems like Dell is a favorite for a lot of people. I never thought of looking into an employee discount. We have a lot of perks at work and I never take advantage of it. I'll check tomorrow. All I wanted to see was what models and options you guys have. Like I said, I don't do much with a computer other than surf and do my banking. I would hope that they come with a cd burner and allow you to play dvd's but I would think that's standard.
