I know most people on these boards build their own comp, but does anyone have an opinion on Sony Vaio desktops? I am looking at an XP1800, 60gb hd, 24X10X40 cdrw, 16X dvd, 512 ddr pc2100, onboard sound and video for about 1000 bucks. Not too bad compared to some prices I have seen. I was wondering about their support and general quality of product. I wouldn't mind building my own computer but I would be basically starting from scratch and this is just plain easier, if it is worth it. Or any other suggestions for relatively cheap pc comparble to this?

Thanks

I have great experience with SONY PC. I have brought 1 for myself 4 years ago and it is still working. 4 of my relative also have SONY PCs. They all have good quality.

Why don't you bring the specs of that model to a local computer shop and tell them to make you something almost exactly the same? Chances are, you may get a better deal.

I do not think you can have a better deal by asking a local shop to built the system for you. I tried a few local shop before. Most of them do no have some of the components I want and they sell the components more expensive than I can get from Internet.

Actually I was looking at Accessmicro.com and put together a comparable system with XP 1900+, Abit KR7A 266mhz fsb, WD 80GB 7200 HD, Gforce 4ti4200, SB Audigy XGamer/Platinum, 16x dvd rom, 32x12x40(I think it was) cdrw, nic, winxp home, 512 kingston ddr 2100 cl2.5, keyboard, mouse included for about the same price (slightly more for the Audigy Platinum) ~$1100. Haven't actually ordered it yet though.

I have had the same experience at a local shop. They only carried one type of mobo and don't have the components I wanted. They could have ordered it and I am sure that would have been pretty expensive judging by the prices they were charging for the stuff they normally carry. And don't get me started on the prices at CompUSA...

You can check out newegg.com. They have good price on many products and they also have very good customer service.

I had a good experience with newegg. Ordered a 128mb compact flash which was bad when I received it and they replaced it no questions asked. Just had to pay to ship it back.
