You say you've got 3 weeks. If that's the case then don't rush it. $4000 is a lot of money to spend on a PC even if money is not the issue. If you're going to spend $4K then at least make sure you get the best value for your money.
Simply put, those PC's you listed aren't worth anywhere near $4K. You could easily go to a single internet site that others have listed and purchase the same hardware for 10-20% less. Not only that but if you're willing to overclock you could purchase a P3-700/750 cB0 and likely run it at the same 933mhz+ but have a faster system because it's a BX instead of VIA. I've got a 700@933 right now and I'll bet you can't tell a "real" 933EB in a VIA from my 700@933 in a BE6-2 (well, except that mine's faster
).
Anyway, as others have said, do some more research before dumping your money on one of those systems you listed. This BBS is full of extremely knowledgeable members and the fact that everyone is telling you not to buy one of those systems should tell you something. I'd recommend building it yourself. If you haven't done it before you'll learn something. If you have you'll save money if nothing else. Plus you get a lot more pride in telling someone you designed and built your custom system yourself and it's faster than any crap prebuilt!

Hey there,
Buying a new comp is always a fun thing, especially if you got as much cash to shell out as you do. I would definately heed the advice in this thread and NOT BUY either of those pc's from gamepc. For 4k you can get ALOT more from other pc vendors or build it on your own. You have made it clear you would rather buy a pre-made system, so I suggest to others, stop trying to talk him into building it himself. There are some out there that just do not want to do it themself. I am one who likes to get his hands dirty and put together my own systems, but that is just me. I suggest shopping around alot of the major pc manufacturers and compare prices and the what you get for that price. Some good places to start are, Dell, Micron, Gateway, Alienware, Falchon Northwest, and other major ones. There are many lesser known ones as well that will give you better prices also that you should consider (Like Russ from this msg board). Good luck!
