I've got to agree completely, even if you build them yourself it doesn't hurt to explore the possibilities. The time and effort involved in tuning a system when you only do it once in awhile may very well justify the marginal cost differences.

If you have the time and patience, I highly recommend doing it yourself.  It can be very rewarding.  You'll get to learn about the actual parts in your computer.  What they do and why quality matters.  This can help you later on if a problem develops and you can easily remedy the problem w/o either tech support or a costly trip to the PC repair shop.

But its not for everyone.  This is why I don't push people into doing it right off the back if they are very green in the PC department.

Looking for a 2nd computer that would also run AHII - saw this one at Costco.  How would it work for Aces High?

HP A6567c-b
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 ghz
4 gb pc2-5300 DDR-2 Ram
640 gb Hard Drive  7200 rpm
Nvidia GeForce 9300 GE  256 mb Video Card
24" diagonal wide screen LCD monitor
Windows Vista

Was talking with my brother, he said I'd probably want to replace the video card.  Any other ideas about this system?  I don't have the patience or knowledge to build my own system, so I'mlooking for something I can buy and be good to go.  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!


talk to tildeath before you do anything. he's gotten good reviews from others in here.

 i just talked to him on the phone the other day, to order a system. he's VERY knowledgeable, and very pleasant to talk to.

As a matter of fact I just talked to him on the phone yesterday - about the system I've already ordered and received from him. . .  :D

I agree - he is very pleasant to talk to as well as being very fluent in computerese.  He also builds very nice systems!
