buying a new comp

[Paintedeyes]

My friend needs a new comp for college and his parents won't let me build em one which is stupid. They want buy a complete comp from one of them companies like dell or somethin. which company would be the best? also i think they wanna spend like 600-700 ish and this is for a desktop not laptop. i think core 2 duo is out of the question for that price range so i'm guessing the next best thing would be amd?

You can get an XPS 410 with a C2D E6300, 1GB, DVDRW, 1YR warranty, etc., for less than 700.

It is exactly what it says. PON is always going to be new. However, a lot of those that say refurb are also new, but you wouldn't know until it arrived.
