I'm beginning my shopping in earnest for a new computer. I've got my
eye on the Studio XPS 9000 so I went to the small business section of
Dell online. No 9000's listed. They had 8100's.

I went into live chat and was told that the Studio XPS 9000 is
exclusive to home sales only. So I guess I buy one from the home side?
Is there any advantage to phoning in an order?

I like ordering online because I get immediate feedback to make sure
I've ordered exactly what I thought I was ordering. Also, the online
ordering is very good at spotting hardware conflicts so you never
have to worry about whether or not this video card goes with this
memory and CPU configuration, etc.

I do so to request that I get a set of cds for the operating system
and programs. Sometimes the sales person might be willing to
negotiate some extra freebies as well.
