Dell Systems
So I bought a few Dell Systems when the prices were really low. As you know, most Dell Systems do NOT come with a floppy drive. If you want one, it costs $20. So I figure I'd buy them from my supplier instead for $7.50 and save a few $$$.

So what really blows is that they don't even give you the metal casing so that you can add a floppy later on. Geesh. With no modem, and no AGP Video card, I'm surprised they even have PCI slots available. Oh well......

A buddy of mine just ordered one for his Mom...he complained about the same floppy issue. Another thing they try to get you on is the RAM upgrade.

The 2.5Ghz system comes standard with 128MB of RAM, it costs $150 to upgrade to 256! (that's what he told me anyway)
WTF???

Thank God for NewEgg!

Wow. Fortunately my folks got theirs just before Dell started making the floppy an "extra."

Yeah. Although I notice they're trying to sell USB memory keys instead.

Not a bad idea, but there is still uses for floppy diskettes.
