I'm sure this has been around a million times, here comes a million and one.
Is the Dell a940 printer the same as the Lexmark x5150? Are the ink
cartridges the same (only cheaper)?
If dell printers are the same as their computers then it will be a modified
Lexmark.
A dell soundblaster Live card is modified and not supported by Creative Labs
A dell power supply is modified (it has a extra wire) and cannot be replaced
with a standard power supply (I think you can get an adaptor).
The reason they do this is to tie you to their products (at a premium). A
standard power supply costs around £15-£20 whereas a dell power supply will
set you back around £60.
As their ads say 'as expensive as dell' - or was it 'as easy as dell'
