You could build more powerful for much less.

well it does come with that special case with a cooling system 10gb more hd space, and xi fi card already, also it come with 2 year warrenty and a copy of xp, i think the warranty adds alot to it
but yep your right you can build it for cheaper, but if your getting lazy like me just order 1 |

Solid state electronics rarely fails. The case I specified, a coolermaster, is absolutely top of the line and far far superior to the dell case. But you pays your money, you takes your choice. |
