I don't see where there's a problem. Both Zorro and Deeko seem satisfied with their purchases. The rest is just details.

Personally, i take the build-your-own route, but hey, to each their own. That XP2000+ i just bought from tcwo.com for $99 is plenty sufficient for my needs :)

Can you really tell the difference btw these mighty machines on your most of your "real word" applications like MS word, etc....or even gaming btw XP2200 and Pent IV 2.0 without using benchmarks. I'm sure the video cards might make a difference, but if both machines had the same video card, same RAM, etc, could you tell the difference?
