[QUOTE="HISSMAN, post: 929395, member: 9703"] I will always build my own. Well, I am now using a laptop though. I just bought the E-machines M6805 notebook, and it is the closest i have ever seen a notebook run with a desktop. I build a DT last year, and used the Athlon XP 2100 processor from AMD, and a lot of other goodies, and the ATI 9500 non-pro video card (overclocked to 9600 pro -wich runs right with a friends 9800 pro) and the thing screams. With everything envolved in building it, and 512mb of pc3200ram, I had under $1000.00 in it, and I benchmarked against my fathers Dell that he just go that had the intel 3.2ghz HT processor and 1 gig of ram, and I busted his ass. Nothing beats homebuilt. Dell/gateway/compaq, all use crap in their machines, and charge you twice as much. With the monito and everythin my dad's dell was close to $3,000.00 .. Howver I am in love with my new laptop. It has the AMD 64 bit athlon processor in it, and it is very overclock friendly. I took it from 1800mhz to 2.0 mhz np, and upped the ATI radeon 9600 card that comes in it quite a bit. my 3dmark01 benchmark score went from 9128 non-modded to 11437....that kicks ass. My dads 3dmark01 score on his dell was 8100 ahe hahaha. P.S. Newegg.com is the only way to go. Take a look @ my laptop on e4me.com it is the M6805. [/QUOTE]
