Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Using the Dell DVD no reactivation was needed, and no preinstalled junk was reinstalled. I found a 25% off coupon for the e520s when I ordered about two weeks ago. Keep an eye out, and good luck!
Cliff,
Not sure if you've ordered yet but I wanted to let you know I got mine last night. It is a great machine. Perfect for a home office. Tons of dell crap installed though, but a quick reinstall and it's gone.

But the Core 2 Duo is 64bit. I know it's not too imortant right now, but if holding out an additional week or two gives you the option, I'd say wait (well that's really what I'm doing)

Yes, after your last post I totally agree with junehhan. You may also want to double check your video cable's connection to the Xbox. Pull it out and plug it back in to reseat it.
A guess is that yes they will.
That is to say if it will be profitable to do so. The Mini is a budget system, with a lower margin. If the performance of the current chip is good enough for budget consumers and cheap enough to widen the profit margin, well it may stay.
My personal...
Maybe start working with some of the RDBMS that are out there. Start with something easy like MySQL, move onto PostgreSQL, then Oracle or SQL Server.
Play with installing them on various platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X). Learn what you can about security, user administration, etc...
I would ask to speak to a tech that is a level up from the ones that originally take the call. See if they will let you file a network trouble ticket to have you local CO checked.
