ahhh!! so you aren't going to build one for yourself!! <smile> I have a dell now - but their prices seemed so much higher now than when I got this one 3 years ago. Maybe my "tastes" have just jumped up a bit!! I want better things - plus, I had no choice then, my old one burned - literally, so I had to buy a new one. but Dell beat out Gateway by a lot of $$ then - and also HP's in the stores around here. who are ABS pc's?? I've heard people on here talk about alienware.

I knew when I saw that one I should have jumped on it! I'm starting to watch closely now for just the right one. I am also looking at ABS PCs and Alienware.....but the latter is very, very expensive for similar systems. If I don't find a deal, I'll probably order new from Dell or ABS PC, or perhaps have it built to my specs.
