Evilpoda I work for dell, I'm an onsite technician..... and when I see one of their warrenty void stickers...I will agree with you.
Being that their tech support ask you to open their computers, and work inside them. I'm sitting right now and wondering why I'm even arguing this with you.

Also why they hell would you want to overclock a oem computer? You build your own too do that, which in the beginning I mention (I build my own, but clients get Oems).

I have a 3.06 right now running at 3.6 and I built it myself cause I knew I was going to overclock. But my client who needs 24/7 uptime..I'm not going to risk anything that could make them go down.

Also crappy components...it was argued before that Dell uses an Intel board. That's true. Dell uses standard pc parts...that's true.

Tell me one crappy part in a Dell? Specifically. The powersupply? The are standard as of the 45XX+ lines. The motherboard...hmm they are Intel 865/875 chipset boards now.

Also 24/7 tech support can be crappy, but it's there. I charge my clients $80 an hour for tech support if they are down...and many people can't afford that, but that's how much my time is worth cause of my schedule. Why I say that is because if they have a small problem, they call Dell. If they have a big problem (Server migrations, so on) they call me. Small problems are easy to solve, and those 24/7 desk are there to solve it. You guys don't know how many times I had to explain to people that your common tech can't tell you how to initialize the center channel with a pcm stream. They can't tell you how to set up 5 profiles in outlook so you can get email from different providers, so on so forth. But they can tell you if your cd rom is broken, and send a replacement out, and they are free.

Poda, call me stupid if you want...but I don't see you helping people on this forum that much by making fun of me. I can respect that you are human, and I'm not going to call you stupid or an ass or anything like that...but in my eyes...you are still a rookie. Also...my p4c 2.4c overclocks too 3.8....that's a little higher then the 2500+...interesting.
