Hey guys,
Looking at the $500 Budget Build article was great but it leads me to a question I've had for a while..
For the longest time now Ive seen dell as a good alternative for buying a low cost computer but HOMEBUILT being better when it comes to high end computers.
Looking at the 500 budget build article though I wonder whats really better after checking dell's site for a computer system around the same price.
In comparison it seems like the differences are:
Homebuilt:
Better processor
Better Video Card
Better Power Supply
No Monitor
No Software
Dell:
Processor is something like a X2 3800+
1gb of ram just like the budget setup
Comes with windows and office software
17" lcd monitor
What are your thoughts on this? I could be way off here and very well may be since I havent started researching dual core setups until now. Any kind opinions appreciated,
thanks,
Karim
