Where to buy desktop online?
I am in the market for a new desktop for my office since this Dell 9100 is almost 3 years old. About the only place I have ever purchased from is Dell. I have probably purchased a dozen or better from Dell, always been satisfied and never any issues. BUT... not buying a desktop in almost 3 years I am not up to par on the best places to buy online. Budget will be around $1500 or so. XP Pro and Raid 1 with a couple of 80-120GB hard drives. No games played here, but still looking for speed. I have a 19" widescreen that I just got recently.
I would rather configure my own and will probably compare with the Dell's available. Any recommendations on where to start looking? Thanks! |

Aside from Dell, HP and Gateway are some of the better-quality systems out there. From your Post, I'm assuming you want a pre-built system and not buying individual parts to make your own, correct?
You can also find complete systems on both http://www.tigerdirect.com and http://www.newegg.com. Those two sites are also the two most common to order individual parts from to build your own, if you're exploring that option as well.

Yeah... pre-built, but configurable.
I have a couple at home I have built, but this is for my office and I really do not have the time nor the will to be building one right now. I would much rather look around and see what kind of deal I can configure up. |

Depends how educated you are. I had a email asking if a E8400 was all he needed for a computer to work. Needless to say... I told him to go for prebuilt
