Hi Folks,
I am going to purchase a Dell Inspiron 1420. But all credit goes to this forum, as I have done an extensive study of many posts and selected this system.
Thanks to all those guys who are the torchbearers, went ahead and brought the Inspirons and gave a hands-on review.
Before going ahead with the deal, ofcourse I would like to get my configuration and price quoated review by you folks.

@nsbrinda - Nice suggestion, but budget constraints buddy. Alarm bells start ringing when i go overboard.
@pathiks - My heart and mind want to , but my bloddy wallet scracthes by a** and reminds me "amdani atthani, kharcha rupayia". Thanks for your suggestion.

But overall how is the selection vs price? Is that fine?
