Hi everyone,
My friend challenged me to build a computer around $1000 that has better specs than the DELL XPS 410.
Maybe it's cuz I've never built a computer, but I can't seem to build one better than this for $1000. Any suggestions? I need the real deal stuff, with links and total cost. I've looked all over newegg.com but maybe I'm looking at REALLY GOOD parts? I can't beat this xps 410 for a thousand bucks...
XPS 410 Specs:
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6300 (2MB L2 Cache,1.86GHz,1066 FSB)
Genuine Windows Vistaâ„¢ Home Premium
1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 2 DIMMs
250GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cacheâ„¢
Single Drive: 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) w/double layer write capability
19 inch E197FP Analog Flat Panel
256MB nVidia Geforce 7300LE TurboCache
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
Accessories
Dell AS501PA 10W Flat Panel Attached Spkrs for Analog Flat Panels
Dell USB Keyboard
Dell Optical USB Mouse
No Floppy Drive Included
56K PCI Data Fax Modem
