Still around the same price as before, these machines now come with various editions of Windows Vista installed by default. However, if you were looking forward to customizing up one of these mid-range Dells to use as a dual-HD CableCARD tuner, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer. We couldn’t find any configurations that contained HD tuners just yet, so we’re still stuck with that god-forsaken Comcast Motorola DVR for the time being. – Jason Chen ...
