This is what im looking at $1150 for a Dell 1ghz, 20gig hd, geforce2 mx, 17 in mon, etc. That is including tax and shipping, but I need something a bit cheaper around $1000. I checked out gateway, but price too high and no good components. Is there a good reputable brand with Athlons with simliar setup for $1000?

Cant build it though cuz no time. =/

One idea is to buy BARE BONES system from Dell, then get the other pieces 3rd party for maximum savings.

Or just build your own.

Dell is a decent alternative if you're not inclined like most of us to build your own. I used one until about 2 years ago before I built my first but will build them from now on. Since my first I have built about 16 or so with about half of them for me and I usually keep my last two builds and sell the rest keeping them for about 4 to 6 months. Not a bad way to stay up to date and keep improving them. I usually give someone a decent deal and get my $ back or more.
