what proprietary parts are used in a Dell box? I've worked on a ton of Dell boxes and I have been able to replace/swap parts with no issues.
As to the original question.. for the same price, i just bought an AMD 64bit processor and a motherboard with 1GB of RAM, hard drive, CDRW, DVD, onboard video and onboard sound, and case from newegg (as a spare box) and I love it.
Dell has some great prices lately, but instead of getting a current low end system, you can build it yourself and get something that will last much longer.
