Dell usually makes good stuff fairly cheaply.

Building your own computer is a better idea, and cheaper, ESPECIALLY if you go the AMD route. Also all the major manufacturers are pretty stupid because they don't offer cheaper, and faster AMD computers (an AMD CPU is faster than an Intel CPU at the same Mhz).

Building your own computer can be more expensive, but you get what you want, not stuff you don't, so it can be cheaper.

Oh, so you bought the hardware then wired it together yourself. That would be cheap. I was talking about telling the computer store "I want that and this...".
I should do that (My friend knows how, and I'm learning)

Don't worry, this was my first computer I made. It's really not that tough. Everything fits together perfect and can really only go in one way, and there really isn't any wires that can be put in wrong and stuff.

 That is really detailed. Is the 266FSB the bus? Teh PIV has a 400 mhz bus (well, kinda. It works like 400mhz, bu tit really isn't)Those harddrives are bitchin, but a little small.

I've seen benchmarks that show the Athlon runs faster than a PIV. I figure I could run OS (2000 profesional and Progeny Linux) stuff on the smaller drive and all the apps on the larger drive. It's 15000 RPM SCSI! Crazy.

Adam, I highly doubt you have a 40x DVD-ROM. Maybe a CD, but the fastest I've seen DVD's are 16x. And I have about 50(!) more d4efinitions now
Man, I want that hard drive!!!!! (15000rpm, unreal)
