Please post back with your impressions. I'm looking at a Studio XPS
9000, but the 8100 is also a contender.

You kick yourself for not getting a Mac.

Meaning: "You'll kick yourself for not getting a Mac". ("Mac types"
are not too bright!)

The 9000 also has a beefier power supply, room for another hard drive,
and 8MB more memory capacity.

A "beefier" power supply is only needed if you're using two or more
graphics cards (as in a CrossFire or SLI configuration); the 8100 also
has room for a second internal hard drive; and no sane person needs
anything close to the maximum memory supported by either computer.
