And off it goes...

The boxed-up systems are loaded onto a lorry at the opposite end of the factory to the supply trucks. They're shipped directly to the customer or, if the order includes Dell products not built at the factory such as monitors or PDAs, first it stops at a sorting hub to meet up with those other items so everything arrives together.
