I'm not going to build it
I'm poor thus need to finance it.
Saying Dell is crap does no good without references, proof, evidence or at least a notarized summary of a crystal ball reading.
Thanks!
http://www.pcclub.com/product_system_details.cfm?itemno=ENP61104$999 P-M 1.7 (up to 2.6), MXM 128M 6600go (upgradable), 15" WXGA (supposedly the real estate of a 19" crt)... I got mine 6 mos ago for $1500 w/1G RAM, the 6600go overclocks 450/750 no problem, plays AH with WMP or QCD running in the background.
You can oder just about any upgrade you want from PC Club, new MXM GPU, upgrade the cpu even add a duo core mobo or screen later down the line. These vanallia books are like Lego.
It came with zero bloatware, just a basic XP install.
If you plan on using it as an everything machine at home, I'd get a seperate sound card... the 2.1 sounds just fine, but its still 2.1. I added a Turtle Beach Roadie.
