I recently bought a new dual core desktop - 2gb ram - tv tuner - xp media centre edition - 512mb graphics card to be honest it's the daddy of all computers. The computer came with a free upgrade to windows vista premium which i applied for and it...
Yep, you heard right, custom make your PC. You might even get the some of the same features as the high end pre bulit model, for LESS. for example, I saw this HP 17" laptop for $2,500. I custom made it for fun and ended up around $1,984. Some features i remoed were:
HD DVD Drive
240GB HD (I lowered it to around 160GB)
Added on a 512MB Nvidia Graphics card
higher res. display
Came close to 2,000, but a lot better then 2,500.
So do reasearch, if you want to buy the high end model, look up the specs, if there are some features you don't want/need such as an HD DVD drive or a 512MB Graphics card (256 MB will do just fine) etc, you may want to do a customzible model.
