Is anyone able to follow the who's who going on with PCs_for_the_win and webber22? Because they are like using each others' accounts and talking about each other like they are just some random person they know. My mind almost exploded trying to figure it out.
From what I've seen, they cheap out on anything not in the advertised specs. Sure you get a phenom II x4 and 8GB of RAM with a 1TB drive, but it often ends up being a Phenom II x4 @2.1GHz or something with like 4x2GB DDR2 800 with abysmal timings and a slow storage drive used as the main drive.
That used to be somewhat true, but not so much anymore. Dell, HP and all those companies have some pretty competitive computer lineups that make it an easy decision for consumers who don't either know how to put together a computer or just don't care about building one.
