Weird, I submitted a reply to this thread and it's not showing up. Might not have finished posting and I may have closed the window...

Anyway, on Dell's Canadian site I can't see any detailed specs for any desktops. Can't see images or details about the back panel nor the inside of the machine. Don't know what ports nor slots any of the machines have.

With Dell you generally have no clue what you're buying and you can't even see or touch the systems in any stores.

I'm now waiting for replies to my RMA requests from both Crucial and ASUS. I wonder if I should RMA the processor while I'm at it? The machine will be down anyway, and I can't really be sure the processor isn't a contributor...
