Is this a special section of the site or something? I’ve heard this for years but when I’ve looked around in the past I never did seem to find it. Especially configurations that show you how much you saved!!

Huge thing keeping me from buying a PC is paying for Windows. I’d prefer no part of my purchase go to the Windows license. Hard for me to stomach paying for Windows just to buy a computer.

It used to be marketed as "Project Sputnik" and was harder to find (I sort of remember you had to start the configuration from a specific page and what a pain it was to hunt around to find it).

I just bought another Precision 5xxx in September and the option was right where you'd expect it to be in their configurator though.
