Agreed. Bought my newest PC from them without researching. All in Wonder 9800 Pro was DoA.Quote:

Otherwise...you'll get better advice here if you tell us what you need your PC to do, instead of listing a bunch of specs you think you need.
Thanks for the replies (most of 'em anyway). That Dell looks like the way to go. I was seriously considering Alienware earlier today.
I just want a decent gaming rig. I'm taking a Game Art and Design course starting Feb. 22, and they recommend a powerful hardware setup. It's going to be graphic-intensive, so going by the latest laptop builds, I came up with the list of specs I think I need.
I don't need the absolute BEST graphics card, but a really good one is needed. A DVD-R/W is always nice, and I assume I'm going to need plenty of memory and plenty of speed. My wife and her mom are thinking about starting an e-business, so I want it to be able to handle their needs quickly and efficiently as well.
The Dual OS was for emulation, of course. Most of my emulators were given to me by friends (some of them who I have very limited contact with), and I wanted to make sure I'll still be able to play them on the new computer. As far as I know, NeoRage has a WXP version, but I don't know about Kawaks, Nebula, KGEN and SNES9x (the only other emulators I have).
EDIT: I have a friend who builds computers, but I thought pre-built might be quicker and faster. I can always learn how to build on the computer I'm using now at some later point. So I guess voltz will have to hate me for a little while longer. :(
Well, ZSNES rocks and has a WinXP version which runs smoothly. Snes9x is okay, but the Mac version is better. The Dell is probably the way to go. You could probably even finance it and use some of the money for the flat panel display you want.
Yeah. I got one too... its pretty nice.Quote:

Replace KGEN with Gens. There's a Win32 version of Snes9x out there, and Nebula and Kawaks are fine, I'm pretty sure.Quote:

order parts from Newegg and build it. I did it. It's easy.
