Best Dual core system for under $1,000?

[nezzari]

Thanks a lot gaara, but I think I'm going to stick with a custom made one. Sorry about wasting your time.

Mind telling me why I shouldn't use Maxtor?

Maxtor have a reputation of frequent failure...I also specifically mentioned the Seagate since the NCQ has performed on par with faster RPM drives in many occasions

Now, not to say that a Western Digital or Seagate drive won't fail on you, some Maxtors may last years while some Seagates may last a week...it is entirely luck of the draw however Maxtor have a higher percentage of drive failure from what I've gathered, and Seagate offers a 5 year warranty versus most other companies 3 year warranty

You have not wasted my time mate

ibuypower isnt too good. If u want custom dual core system, but dont wanna build it yourself, go to www.monarchcomputer.com

Hmm, they seem pretty expensive. I've heard some pretty good things about Ibuypower.com from some friends though...

If u wanna go with them, its ur choice, but i wouldnt advise it. If u look at reseller ratings, ibuypower has a 6.20, with no awards. Monarch has a 9.20 with a bunch of awards, plus monarch gives u more customization

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'm just going to try Ibuypower.com. Hopefully the computer will be decent
