Looking for a Pre-Built Gaming PC

[Fingolfin269]

What manufacturer's would you recommend? I want to avoid Dell simply because I live in TN and the 9.75% sales tax eats into my budget quite a bit. I've been looking a ibuypower and they seem pretty decent but I'm looking for a few other manufacturer options.

Also, $1000 for a gaming system will go a long way for me. I'm using an old Athlon xp 2100+ system so yah. 🙂

A bit more then 1K, but you might want to opt for a different VC.

HP A6152N
? Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

That's what I did in 2004 getting an HP Pavilion a250n and upgrading the AGP VC to 6800NU, and then 7800GS. I also had to upgrade the Power Supply though, so you might want to check into that.

Good luck!
