newegg rocks ---- dell sucks

How about dell using POS mobo/power supply combos that dont work anywhere else. Try to upgrade to a gf4 and it doesnt work because the power supply is too wimpy. Go buy new ps - the universal standard for intel or amd and it doesnt work with your mobo because dell saved $4 a pc.

I just built a new box with top of the line components for $700. Everything new except for video card and cpu coooler. If I were to put in a 9700pro and a op of the line cooler, the sytem would come in at $1100. Dell cant touch my pc at that price. And no, I dont need windows, a keyboard/mouse/monitor or a pos printer or digital camera. I want my money to go to the best pc for the money, not the extras.

xp2200
512 ddr3200
40 gb 7200 rpm 8mb cache hdd
48x12x48 liteon
sony floppy
thermal take case fansx2
350w ps and case
8x agp, kt400 asus mobo, onboard lan, usb2.0x6

Its got all the necessaries and lots of room to upgrade.
