I ordered a system with a single SCSI drive much as Don described.  I just got a call from some dude at Dell who says that I need to add a SCSI controller!  Since Dell's online configurator program let me select the SCSI drive, I thought the system had built-in SCSI support on the motherboard.  Seems not.  Dell wants $299 for a SCSI controller!  (WTF!)  If this is true, I think I'll go with IDE.  Or cancel the whole thing -- I'm not sure.
