If you held a gun to my head i'd go the dell dimension 4700 i suppose.

My God... they're trying to bill something with an MX4000 as a gaming PC?! I also couldn't stand a cathode.

The 4700 and Cyberpower are the only ones with acceptable amounts of RAM. I give a slight edge to the Cyberpower, though I wouldn't get either one.

Which is why I asked.. I went with the Cyberpower, but I might be having second thoughts...

The Cyberpower is the best choice out of them, but for gaming.... scrap that vidcard and put in at least a R8500 or GF3TI500 class card.
