If you know how to build yourself, you can do very well buying components over pricewatch.com

[HEAVY METAL]

MAGICMICRO.COM

I thought the price was awful good myself check the website out and tell me what you think.

That will work well that is for sure...

Go with it.

Great Place top buy a pc. I recently bought a new demo box there. It was so nice I bought 2 more AMD 2600's.

 

For almost the same money, you can get the AMD 64 bit 3200 CPU. It IS faster and worth the money. They also have systems on Ebay.

TigerDirect seems to have a slightly better prices on motherboards - but I couldnt find the P4S800. I am also looking at the Gigabyte - 8KNXP motherboard for myself. It has gotten some good reviews.

I LOVE Tiger Direct. Great prices & web site. Good selection. But mostly because their warehouse is in Chicago and I'm in Milwaukee. If I order first thing in the morning and use regular UPS I get my stuff the next day (most of the time).

 

When I looked at parts for my new box, I couldn't build it for as cheap as I could get the whole thing (already built) from Magicmicro.com .
