[QUOTE="polarwrath11"]To be honest you really should build a pc yourself, you'll get better value for money. If money isn't an issue, then by all means go for an alienware or whatever, but just know that you could've got a much better pc for the money. In fact, there are probably tonnes of companies out there that don't charge stupid prices like dell and build you a custom pc! But still, don't underestimate your ability to build a pc. Its not too hard. People on here will help pick you out some components if you ask nicely ;)-CheeseEater-
For people who don't know how to build PC's. Sometimes, on the rare, odd occasion, buying a PC from Dell is certainly worth it. You have to factor in that your PC will be under full warranty, it'll be guaranteed to run, and that in someone who doesn't have the time to build a rig, paying 300 dollars for someone to do it isn't so bad at all. Just like servicing your own vehicle would be cheaper than getting a mechanic to do it. I wouldn't compare repairing a car to building a PC. Building a PC is like a very, very easy lego puzzle, except for the fact that it costs a lot.
As for the warranty, all the individual components typically come with a 1 year warranty at a minimum, and both hardware and Dell systems have a chance of coming DOA. Keep in mind that hardware MFG's test their hardware before shipping it out, and so most DOA cases are caused by bad shipping or handling.
Also, building a PC doesn't take much time. All the connectors are pretty much idiot proof, so building one would likely take less than a day, granted that they don't encounter any problems or faulty parts.
