How about Voodoo Computers? You can game and do your office work at the same time! Get the one with the side window. Oh and get the Klipsch 5.1's and a 19" LCD monitor! You will frekin rock the company!

Just go to Fry's. Get all the necessary parts and put it together yourself. You may end up paying more than you should, but at least you know exactly what's going into it.

My opinion - look for a PC recycler in your area the moves off lease computer equipment. You can get some very nice Optiplex machines off of them them for around $200.

Blleeeaaaggghhh. Stooped to buying a $499 Compaq from BB.,

It'll work for a temporary solution. I'm ordering parts from newegg right now and am going to return this POS as soon as I build a replacement PC.

Actually Compaq's business machines aren't bad. It's those damn Presario's you need to avoid like the plague.
