dell has been having some really good sales lately.
last week I bought a desktop model dual-core intel 2.8 with 4GB of ram for $499 including tax and shipping.
of course it comes with the monster that is windows Vista, but hey you can't have everything right? I'm going to try installing this windows 7 I'm hearing about on there.

if i was forced to buy a pc i would go with an HP...at least they are owned by apple. dells and gateways are crap.

don't buy branded PCs. you can find a decent computer store on ebay where you can customize your own machine. it will cost you much less.

tom's hardware forums is a good place to get some build advice, or you can find build guides out there with all the parts spec'ed. it's super easy and cheap to build one up, just a little confusing figuring out what will work with what. i usually get parts from newegg.
- this is good advice if you're willing to spend the time building and troubleshooting your own machine.nocomply

zaq excellent advice
do you know that specific store?
- marcolalo0
so besides ebay .. newegg.com for best prices you think?
- I'd find a local store that does custom builds, they're usually cheaper.zarkonite
