The generic usb keyboard that Dell offers is not that great typing wise - at least in the experience of many of my co-workers. Might consider getting another keyboard ahead of time in terms of price approximations.As I pointed out to Thanee in another thread ... if it were me I would get two smaller hard drives rather than one big one, and make fairly regular image and data backups of the hard drive with the OS onto the 2nd drive. That way should the first fail you can restore it from the second with ease and should the second fail you will have a copy of the data on the first. Standard stuff. Looks ok to me.You might consider getting two drives - one a dvd burner and the other a dvd reader. Use the reader for just reading data and the burner for burning data. It will make your burner last longer. Dell machines come with a "Special Dell Edition" of Roxio made for them by the latter company. If Roxio drives you up the wall you should be warned! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Fine, fine, fine. Get security software!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> You might consider getting a 3 year warranty. Yes, it costs a little more, but it IS your data! Unless you are expecting to upgrade in less than a year.  :\ Not bad all-in-all. It would serve as an beginning to lump on other things if need be. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />When you say entertainment though ... you mean you will use it as a media center? A gaming center? Both? More than this?</blockquote>
