    First Build is Done! *PICS*

    I have an ATI Fire GL4 graphics card which is designed for workstation graphics, like CAD, etc. Does anyone know if it would support gaming (any firsthand experiences, etc)? Thanks.

    DELL vs Building your own.

    Most of the people here are forgetting that in a Dell, you are paying a few hundred extra on the computer to upgrade the warranty. To get an accidental damage coverage (totally awesome) plus a 3 year warranty is anywhere from 300-400 depending on your setup. Without adding the extra warranty...
