Title: prebuilt systems?
Post by: wallzy on November 13, 2006, 09:07:42 AM
If you were going to buy a prebuilt system where would you buy it from? consider cost, reputation & anything else that come to mind.

There are 2 schools of thought:

1.  You buy based on the warranty, phone support, etc.
2.  You buy assuming you will support it yourself, and are only concerned with parts warranties.

If you are #1, buy Dell.
If you are #2, I would buy from a place like http://www.americancomputech.com

You get to pick the parts, they put it together, and the warranty is only on the parts.
