i was just like this person a couple weeks ago. i was set on buying Dell. but i've seen the light. i am building. two weeks ago i would have said no way i would but it has been a great learning experience. i have also realized i have to spend a little more than the Dell's advertied 599 or whatever but when i compare what i really want to what i customized on their site. the right machine is about $400 cheaper for me to build. the 599 will work if you are satisfied with just the basic pc. but now that "i know" what a good computer is i would not settle for a prebuilt one.

but to pick between these two Dell all the way.

but even if you went by "specs 101" it would be a better computer.
