Ive got a Dell Inspiron 8600 and its Fantastic, it was delivered 3 days after being ordered, and ive never had a hint of a problem with it. Go with the Dell.

i was looking at the inspiron 1150... does that look a good model also is it pretty much essential to take out warranty?

and how much better is pentium 4 than celeron? whats the difference?

Celeron are failed P4 chips apparently. Same company make them but the cache of the celeron is lower.

Warrenty, be careful its where any people weather Dell or PCWorld make there money. Read the small print before you sign. Most are not worth the paper they are wwritten on.
