Is there any difference between Dell's bought from Dell vs Bestbuy?
 

Just wondering. I saw a pretty good deal for one in the bestbuy flyer this week.

I would think the warranty options would be one of the biggest differences

Nope, they are both trash. They are cheap for a reason. Get a Sony instead :pimp

sony doesn't make desktops any more..do they?

sure do: viao. great machines... I have a quad gateway that runs great also

Is this based on something?

I've been running the higher end dells for years, with very few issues. What issues I did have was support, and with a little persistence they always over delivered.
