Nice setup man.

I tried to get them to send me a sound card 5 times, i got hung up on somehow 5 times. Also another thing about dell which you will find out soon, as that they use really cheap parts. My dads DVD Drive has failed, CD-RW Failed, Sound Card failed, Video Card Failed, and is slow as all hell. Personally if i was you i would have built my own, thats what i did. They made better computers back in the day, my mom has our old 2100 and it runs perfectly fine, while my dads crashes atleast twice a year. Ive had so much anger for that computer.
Yeah, my moms laptop had some problems too: dvd cdrw combo drvie shitted on me, heat sink and fan "Got knocked the fuck out man!!". Their service ont he phone is kinda "hard" , with their accents. But when I sent the laptop they worked fast and paid for the shipping. Now it is working very well. Dell is still an ok computer company.

I built my own Athlon 2700, with a ASUS Mobo board, audigy 2, and all. Thermal take case, Lite on CD-rw 52 write speed (i love this thing), and a Sony DVD Drive. Its very nice, has never crashed on me, and i learned alot about computer care, and technology. THe only thing lacking is my video card and speakers. I havent upgraded to a ATi 9800 Radeon, and my speakers are from the dell, so they dont fully take use of the Audigy 2.

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro's are fairly cheap now. I remember seeing one at a store around 200-250. Not so bad. Speakers are pretty cheap these days too. you should check out www.newegg.com and sometimes they have deals and what not.
