under 200, order a pre-built system, refurbished or used.

Cheap, No OS.

You're best off building your own machine from scratch, and putting some money into it. The best system to build is to use the best parts for the lowest price. i.e. Most components, the price goes up as the speed/capacity goes up, but then at some point that price goes up a LOT more for a much smaller gain. Aiming for right before that jump gets you a good system, that will last, while costing as little money as possible.

Buying a top of the line, bleeding edge machine is a waste of money, it won't last much longer than the system i just described. Buying 'budget' pc's is a waste of money, and an exercise in frustration when in 6months you find it is already obsolete.

Friend has one, they are definitely worth though!

Build your own Alienware for about half the cost of that unit and be happy drinking yourself into oblivion with the remainder.
