Those are prices without WIndows support, with Dell's price I get some kind of support.

dell's support sucks anyways.

also, we here at the forum can help IF something happens

I've never built a computer myself, and with my luck, I'd go boot it up and get all kinds of error codes with no support from Windows, I know I'd have some kind of support here, but I'd have to hope some1 on the forums has gotten that error code before and knows how to fix it, you get what I'm saying? Idk, I'm probably gonna build my system in April after the price cuts, but that dell system I built for $890 to my house looks really nice.

I thought the same thing on my first build and it did happen but, it was because of my ignorance. After you format and install OS, you usually run and check everything out, right? I did and installed (most of) the driver disk, I didn't select the sound driver to be installed because it was under another tab. I was so pissed at the mobo for the onboard sound not working, I was used to the old systems that didn't have onboard sound and instead a sucky sound card, with a wire ran from the CD drive to the sound card. I thought I had to run a wire from the CD drive to the mobo then, so yeah I was pretty dumb but, I fixed it.

None of those say "Mobile". The card in his post does. I already know there's a 7900GS for desktops.
