If I didn't know the 1st thing about how to build my own I'd probably get a Dell.

Bang for buck you can build 2 killer machines and still have change left over for a killer 22 or 24 inch LCD and take the better half out to lunch. 

I think even kowing that, some people would just as soon buy a prebuilt rig... I'm not 1 of those people though.

When I get a build order from someone. The first think I asked is will this person be served better by a oem like Dell. If I am confident the person will need exellent performance and is not going to be calling me everyday asking me how to get on the internet I will build for them. I know it seems mean, but I have learned the hard way.

I wou never buy a pre-built for myself, but the moment some one asks what to buy I suggest Dell. Well built, great service, they treat people pretty well.

 It is hard to find a review of a pre-built, thanks for the update on Dell's product line.

I went to Dells site, and you cannot order one yet.  I wounder what is going on.  Maybe they are haveing problems with the system, and do not want to release it yet 

It let me configure one but I didnt purchase it.

Hi All,

It is only us the Enthusiast/Hobbyist that build our own Computers. Most Folk buy their computers be it Dell, HP or the the boutique vendors like Falcon or Voodoo.

Be very carefull to do your research on this machine BEFORE you purchase.  There are some major flaws/issues with the machine that have not yet been addressed by Dell.  Details can be found on Dell's forums or at http://www.my630i.com
