Looking for a new computer

[Mk3Jesse]

I have always built my own computers, and all have been great performers. I never liked buying pre-built computers, except for laptops. That said, I just bought my first HP, and like it a lot. It had everything I wanted, plus a little more. Not the best for gaming, but I don't really do any gaming anymore. Most of my stuff is simple graphics or code related, and it does than with ease.

yeah there really is nothing wrong with pre-builds.
I have bought a xps 420 and a few other dell's that were in the outlet.
I remember the 420 was a intell q6600, 4gb ram, 8800 GT, and it was like $500.00 free shipping. You couldnt, an probably still cant build that computer for that much. The difference is the quality of parts, upgradibility, and overclocking.
