And I made this purchase because of Dell's wonderful reputation for quality!

It's not a reputation, it's slick advertising.

If you want genuine high quality, get a Mac.

I work in a mixed environment of Windows, UNIX and Macs. Most of our severs are Dell and I can attest to their quality, so much so that I bought Dell laptops for my daughters to use at college. Macs are indeed great machines, but there are others out there as well. IMHO.
