Thats.. acceptable. Dell has always been good with prices when it comes to desktop computers. But I would recomend building your own computer, save money.

Yes, I'm currently building my "Gaming PC" for xmas mate, and I'm only 14!! I've got mostly everyhitng apart form a couple of fans and the hard drive. If all goes to plan, it should come to around the price of £180, for 512 MB RAM, A7N8X-X Motherboard with nForce 2 chipset, 400 Watt Game Bomb Case, nVidia FX5200 AGP TV OUT Graphics Card, and I have bought an AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2.0 Ghz Processor with heatsink and fan, and I should be getting a 90 GB hard drive for £40 off edaby, with 8MB Cache......

**Looks around nervously and says** What do you think to that??

LOL. It's not the best PC, but it should hold up until next year, when all the new stuff should be made even better and is when I will upgrade my PC to a top notch one....

Hope mine works out, and mate, you can buy that Dell PC, a very good deal, but when you build something, you get that feeling of satisfactoryness and also you learn and find out more things about how a computer works and what things can be upgraded and everything really.... You could become a mini *Praetor*, no offence Praetor!!.....

Also, you will be classed as lazy if you buy that PC ready made

heh, just joking!

haha i wish i had the time and knowledge to build my own, cuz i know its cheaper..BUT im in college and trying to get through the next 2 years. i hatttte school, but i love computers (my major!!). thanks for the help guys!!

No problem mate!!

When you say "knowledge" I don't really have the knowledge of building a computer either. I only know the parts I need, and I know where they are meant to go in a computer. That's all..... Not hard really....

Have a good time with your new computer!!

Cya!
