M4400 from outlet or elsewhere?

I have a choice to buy an M4400 from either dell outlet or ascendtech for the same price; $900. However, the latter offers an core 2 extreme x9100 (instead of a 2.4 P from the outlet) but with only 30 days warranty! I hear that dell outlet offers 3 years warranty...

I don't know much about Precision station quality or reliability so I want to know your opinion about which I should go for. In my head, it would cost many hundreds more to add a core 2 extreme to the outlet choice - that might outweigh the cost of replacing a faulty hard drive or whatever must be amiss on the ascendtech.

Perhaps you'd find it obvious to go with the warranty, but how messeed up could the latter be?

 

Tough decision. Precisions have excellent quality and very reliable IMO. If you will utilize the powerful CPU, I would go for the latter, else play it safe with the former.

 

nevermind, that's right
