thats pretty loaded, so you have about 500 (after rebate) more to play with if you want to upgrade some of that stuff...i would get memory from crucial and save a few bucks there...

I too have an Inspiron 8000 PIII 850 w/512MB RAM. I've had the HD replaced under warranty. We use all Dells at my work and I can tell you there have been MANY HD crashes, the only other problem I see with the Inspiron 8000 series is LCD panels shitting the bed. But Dell's warranty rocks, so congrats man.

Mouse shooting off the screen?--Yes, the touchpad is too sensitive...every Latitude/Insprion I've ever worked on does it.
Your keyboard and LCD Panel problems don't surprise me, I get at least one laptop in every month with one of those two problems.
