Name this component please

Can anybody tell me what component Dell is using on their home page for the main image "annimation"? I don't know anything about components or where to buy/download them. I've just been tasked with trying to figure out what they used to create this and to get it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much!

if you are referring to the animation, that is just javascript slide show.

Thanks, that was my original assumption too, but then the person who codes my site informed me that this line in the code is pointing to a component that all the images are being run through:

urls[0] = "http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/brand/media?c=us&l=en&s=gen";

and then it does the montage

there is a database with a link to the path where the images being displayed on the website.
These images are then randomly displayed.
The component the person might be talking about is the asp that contains the link which points back to the database.
There is a page on 4guysfromRolla with information on how to display random images on your site.
If I come across that page, I will post it but the thing images being displayed on that site can be done with javascript slide show.
