if your into pc's and and do a lot, lot of gameing then a dell is not the way to go, if your going to be playin warcraft III from time to time and typing up a word document then you dont need anything crazy. dell is a fine machine for your avg. user. we dont like dells in here(i say we cuz like 99% of us dont like dells) because we build our own systems, liking knowing what parts are in and, and custumizing it to our needs, and its what we are into. work and school, a dell is fine.
