thanks, I feel so good about the stores in my area anyway, is it worth it to get the minus OS version for $840? |

No no no no >_< Power supply is horrible, only two sticks of ram (800 MHz no less), crappy intel motherboard, only dual core, only 500 GB hard drive. It's not a bad computer, but for $800, just go make your own.You could have a 750-800 watt power supply, a good motherboard, a nice looking case, etc etc etc. |

Not a bad PC but not worth $1000. You'd be better off doing some reseach and purchasing all your hardware from NewEgg. That way you'd get everything you wanted and it'd probably cost less then a Pre-Built system as well. |

That's what I was gonna say. Build your own, Syntax. It's cheaper. Not to mention you get the parts you want, not factory regulated pieces of crap. |

I'd normally recommend that, but it looks like he's into the pre-built market. |

Ah, I see. All I know is that I custom built my PC way back in 2004 with my dad, and it can still compete with the average pre-built PC today. That, to me, is impressive. But I'm planning on upgrading soon. Probably gonna build a gaming computer for my Senior Project next year. |

It's because THIS custom PC doesn't work properly so I just want a pre-built something, besides hunting for all the stuff is a major pain, then I need to get my neighbor to assemble it and it all starts getting much more annoyingly complicated, so yeah, about the OS free one for $200 less? is that worth it? I mean getting an x64 version of XP on this PC and burning the disk won't be a problem. |

I trust instructions (however vague) more than I trust my neighbor <_< Edit: Wait, what doesn't work properly? Are you sure it's hardware and not software? |

If you knew my neighbor you'd trust him to. And I doubt it's software because I've tried 3 different OSes and without exception the computer fails >_> |
