I'll put it plain and simple. I build my own. Best price for best/neccesary components. It's like Burger King. Get it your way, right away. That's just me though, the last whole PC I bought was back in 1995. That was also the first one and yes it was a Dell. (Pentium 1 @ 133 Mhz, 16 MB RAM, 28.8 kbs modem, 6X CD-ROM, 2 MB video card, and 2 GB HDD. But now I have a Dell for work and it's great. It's a Latitude 600.
