I was looking at Dells today and decided that the H2C edition was pretty sweet. SO I decided to see what I could duplicate it for.

Dell................................................... New Egg
Qx6700...............................................$970
Xp Media.............................................$109
motherboard.........................................$379 Asus striker xtreme
20 Widescreen Monitor.... ......................$264 Acer Al2051w
4gb dual channel.......................$192x2= $384 OCZ Gold series 667mhz
300 GB hard drive......................$209x2= $418 Western Digital 10k 150 gb
Dual dvd-rom and dvd-rw............$40x2= $80 take your pick
Dual Geforce 8800 gtx................$550x2= $1100 take your pick
Soundblaster x-fi extreme music .............$140 x-fi Fatality
Case...Thermaltake Armor........................$150 $25 back later
power supply...OCX1000pXs.....................$339 $30 back later
Water cooling..Silverstone SST-TD01B.......$306
1 yr warranty..........................................Fix it yo-self..at least that on all
$5499..................................................$4639

that leaves me $860

which I can:
1. Upgrade to a Acer AL2423wadr..........add $335....delete 20'
2. Dual R-600s ..................................add $100....delete dual 8800gtxs
3. Seagate barracuda 750 GB...............add $60....delete 1 150 gb 10k
4. Logitech z-5500.............................add $292
.............................................................$887 I'm $17 over

WAIT!...NO TAXES!

that leaves another $367......Logitech MX5000................$115 Powercon King Pro KIN 2200ap 1320w power protection.....$250

ANY Questions?
 
Yes, Newegg is always better then buying from Dell, and you have the fun and enjoyment of building it yourself :)
 
BUILD!!!! *pause* BUILD!!!! *pause* BUILD!!!!

I see components that you do not need, such as 4Gb of RAM. That is overkill, not necessary.
 
not to mention the fact that dell sell the cheapest mobos around the cheapest ram without heatsinks
