Instead of spouting my typical pro-Dell spill here, I will comment on your data migration issue.
Sure, it is fairly easy to do with a network, but because you want an alternative to that, there are a couple of other methods you could use. If you have a large amount of data that you want to migrate, the best solution would be by using a crossover cable. Simply connect one end to one PC and the other end to another PC {network card to network card}. Then manually set the IP address on each machine to be on the same network { for example 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 } and you will be able to access any shares that you have set up on each machine. Or if you're really cool, you can simply open Windows Explorer on one machine and type \\PCNAME\c$ and then sign in using the admin username and password on the other pc. This will take you to the root of C on the other machine, and allow you access to all files located on the C drive of that PC.
If you have less data, a USB flashdrive or harddrive would be sufficient. Just copy data from the PC to the USB drive and then sneakernet it to the other pc. Repeat until all data is transferred. Or burn DVDs if you have a DVD burner.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall.
