!!WAY OT!! Building a PC Finalized parts List

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

Good, but ditch the CD Rom for a burner. They're so amazingly cheap these days, it just makes sense. On the other hand, you can't beat Dell's prices. They have crappy customer service (that may change, they sent the CS dept to India and now decided to move it back) and ok quality components, but desktops starting at $399 with all kinds of free stuff and free upgrades, etc etc. They also have a big sale on refurb'd comps. It ends the 21st though.
