Re: Don\'t buy the RAM from Dell
I would seriously consider getting a custom build if you can find a local place that will do this for you. I got a kickass rig that way a couple years ago. The key is buying only what you need and buying all components in the consumer "sweet spot". This means not the absolute newest technology w/fastest everything but the thecnology that is about 9mos. old and was 2nd or 3rd fastest at the time it was new. Many places will install it all for you free of charge if you buy many of the components through them. When I did it I had already purchased the DVD burner, video card and harddrive off of newegg for ridiculously cheap. The geeks at the computer store were more than happy to match them up with a reasonably price box, processor, motherboard, RAM, etc and threw the components I brought in free with purchase of the other stuff.
You can save hundreds and get a better total package with no cheesy components whatsoever.
