Just bought a new Dell Vostro 230 for a work location. Wow these cases are cheap and thin but good enough for government work. Hard drives screw to the side of the case, no bays, hilarious. My surprise was it comes standard with a DVD ROM only - no burner. Who does that? Dell tech and I took several hours and I finally said, "I wonder if this thing is just a reader". We were both incredulous about not having a DVD-RW standard. Sure writers are cheap and now that I know - no problem but cripes, at least give a guy some heads up if you are going to change the rules. It's tough enough to find out detailed specs. on these Dells.
On the plus side they did provide an OS disk so imaging was not important.
