I'd say go for a Dell as well, but beware of the models with the 256ZX graphics chipsets, you'll need to buy a comercial Xserver for ~£100 to get them to work (or somebody please tell me where I wen't wrong!).

But apart from that minor caveat the CPi series are great. I haven't played with the Inspiron's so I couldn't say, but being aimed at home users moer I guess they'd be more likely to have "cutting-edge" chipsets (read: X problems ;-)

Yours,
Ian.
