Thinking about that myself, but by the time I get software it will end up more expensive. Besides my son will use it for school mainly. If it were for me, then double throw down, give me the best you got, so I can build it myself!

I'm a computer support tech and I've given up on building myself. I can't do it as cheaply as I can buy a pre-built unit that will do the basic stuff that I need. Since I'm certified for their service, I just buy Dell.

yeah the packages have gotten cheap enough that they are cheaper than built if you are just wanting a comp to do basic stuff fast. It becomes a lot more cost effective when you want to build something high end.

Even if you want to do something a little heavier, like photo or video editing, just get the basic box and add a second large drive, and a good video adapter.

I rather build my own box still, I like having full control over what I put in it. Plus when I build, I don't build in one step. I buy as I see things on sale.

I run 'em until they die, so piece by piece generally isn't an option.
