    How many of you remember Zeos computers? They were the Shiite.

    I've built my own for the last 14 years, but my next one will be a Dell. Just tired of futzing around with it..

    See link in initial post.

    If it holds up for 2 - 3 years, it'll be worth it. By then, the computer will be damn near obsolete.

    Steve,

    Why would you go with Dell? You built a computer you can update here and here a little. I owned a Compaq computer sweet when I bought it, but it got a bit out dated I couldn't update it well because of BIOS / mother board issues. I wanted to update the CPU afraid motherboard wouldn't see so why spend $200 on CPU if computer wouldn't work on it. Hard drive a little small 80gig but MB wouldn't see anything over 127gig. So on So on..... You built a computer you know what will work what you can pass on, you're saving $ down the line. Today's computers are throw aways for the must part you spend what $4-5 bills lives for 2 - 3 yrs you think heck I buy another.
