Looking to buy a home PC

[Nonbryan]

Is there a computer guru on the board that can take a look at this and let me know what I'm missing on this. I know it's not the top of the line but I just need something to surf Hornfans, mess with Itunes, do some MSWord/Excel, etc.... I do have wireless at the house so I want it to be able to pick that up and have the regular USB ports and stuff so I can transfer some of my data. Is this missng anything obvious or is it an absolute pass this one up deal? Thanks in advance.

Having read your set up at the house, I don't see a reference for wireless in the specs.

If youre cheap you could probably save some money buying a monitor and speakers on newegg instead of off dell. That is unless youre getting some kind of bundle discount.
Also, I dont know how much dell charges for memory upgrades, but you can easily get 4gb DDR2 @ 800mhz for $40. So it may be worth it to get their cheapest option and buy your own sticks for cheaper.
Even though you dont play games it may be worth it get an entry level video card for more inputs or better 1080p/bluray playback etc.. dont know how well the gma3100 performs there, but you can always pick 1 up, like the ati hd3400 for $20 after rebate if the gma3100 doesnt fulfill your requirements.
