| 572448 | 2007-07-25 07:50:00 | Build your own. Then you know exactly what's going into it and you can install windows how you like it, rather than how Dell likes it (ie: full of crap) | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 572449 | 2007-07-25 08:06:00 | A family friend got a Dell PC and the AMOUNT_OF_BLOATWARE Dell installs is amazing!!! My PC out guns thiers even though theirs is speced higher... I say Ascent, the after sales support is amazing... |

| 572451 | 2007-07-25 09:30:00 | Build your own is a good idea if you have just a small bit of experience and understand anti-static procedures. Otherwise take Consumer Mag advice which to buy from a specialized computer shop not a chain store. |

| 572453 | 2007-07-25 11:02:00 | Don''t buy a dell cause it will crash in 5 mins as the others have said buy one you can build yourself and that way you know if something goes wrong then its your fault. What OS are you going to chuck in it Vista will be fun to run and run and run and run. |
