Computer comparison

[buffer]

I am looking at computers from DigitalStorm the Twister Pro 3 and from Ibuypower the Game Master. They have similar specs but with different components. The Digital sells for $2046 and the Buypower is about $1930, both with no LCD.

The Buypower uses a NZXT case, Thermaltake PSU, Asus Mobo, Serial ATA HD, Mushkin memory. Other than that the specs are about the same.

They both have 3 year warranty and life time support. Does anyone have comments on the reliability of the companies or on the configuration?
Thanks

I would say to build your own. For that amount of money, you can have an 8800GTX included in the build, if you were to build it yourself.

if u are gonna buy, from US or Canada try NCIX..... they hae really good systems for decent price... plus u can choose the specs u want....

i agree with b1gapl. i have a pc built for less than $1900 with everything that i need. but i just need the money.

Don't buy that setup. You can do better if you build your own computer.
