believe me no one on this forum will tell you to get a dell , both have very similar specs and crappy onboard graphics (nice for general use,very bad for gaming) the walmart one have a slightly better processor , both have simply shocking warranty 3months for the tigerdirect and 1yr for the walmart , as i said in your other thread building yourself is the way to go you get higher quality parts/much longer warranty/you know exactly what parts your getting , and what do you think about the one i built for you on that thread?

you didnt mention before that you only need few parts and not a whole pc , i guess your gonna use the ram & optical drives from current pc just make sure the ram is compatible (if its a ddr1 184pin) also if it is ddr and its lower then pc3200/ddr400 then the performance will be somewhat lower then what it should be , anyway i built these in both you get a better video card and a quality psu (the psu that comes with that raidmax case is crap)
