It is 729.90 after all the combos, taxes, and shipping. And it is worse...

Yes, but you get to build it yourself, and that's priceless.

I wouldn't get a Dell even if it was cheaper. When I built this computer, I was thinking quality over power. Quality PSU, motherboard, memory, and case.

Even if building the computer yourself is more expensive, the personal attachment to your computer and the ability to pick the parts and quality level makes up for it a lot.

So how are newegg parts necessarily higher quality than Dell parts. Theres a reason why Dell is the largest PC maker in the world, people would not keep buying Dells if they use crap quality parts that fails after 1 year or use.

You don't have to upgrade the HD from Dell, Dimension 9200/XPS 410 have 3 3.5" slots, just buy a new 500GB from newegg for $100-110 and plug that in

Don't Newegg have some kind of return policy, seems like that Dell is still a better deal even if you have to eat the 15% restocking fee from Newegg.

$100 spent is $100 spent...regardless of semantics.

the point is $800 for a Q6600, 2GB, 500GB HD, 8600GT is a much better deal than that newegg computer for $700

WOW!

That is one hell of a deal. 569$ for E4400, vista, 2gb, 80 gb, 8600 gt and other stuff.

The psu is 375 W so it is not that bad, might be able to run a 8800.

However, given the fact that Dell uses a BIOS that doesn't allow overclocking and the case is probably (though I have no idea) too small to ever upgrade to an 8800 or higher videocard, the $700 rig with future expandability becomes a "better buy."

The Dell you want to order comes with 8300grphx--- 17" monitor and 667mhz RAM. You could build your system for the same$$$ with a intel 6600---8600GTS $160--- bigger monitor at least 19" $150---- and DDR2 800mhz $80 from newegg.

So WTF are YOU talking about?
