comes to about 820 with tax and stuff..the only reason im going with dell is cause of what you get for the value everything else dont come with a flat monitor and with the stuff i want in there it always comes out to so much money

 

[iamloco724]

and me personally i think a pc is what you make of it everyone has a bad thing to say about every brand so i decided to go with best value..i think if you know how to maintain your pc you shouldnt have any out of the normal problems

Very nice monitor ;-) I use it, it is awesome. Otherwise seems okay value, but you have to remember that upgrading parts in that will be virtually impossible...!

i dont see why i will be upgrading the pc thats why im trying to get everything i want in there now .. the one i have now i have had for like 6-7 years and all ive done is added ram and had to replace the hard drive..the only thing i will be doing to this pc is adding my current hard drive in there as a slave

 

[Chazzer3]

Yes yes, I'm not saying you'll have to, I'm just making a general point. I mean, if you don't need to upgrade it, then dell is fine really, you should go ahead if you are set on it.

I'm just saying that if you were to get a dell, you wouldn't really be able to upgrade it that much, not pointing it at you, but as a general point.

yeah IDE drives will work but i don't see why you would want to use an IDE drive unless you already own it. if you are buying buy an SATA/SATAII
