My present machine came from Game PC (www.gamepc.com). I think they
did a good job, and have less markup than the vendors you mentioned in
the subject line. (They also offer more component choices than the
other vendors listed-- I've been looking because I'm about ready to
build/buy a new system.) But it's even more cost-effective to build it
yourself.

It's hard to answer what is the "best machine" without knowing more
about your preferences. For example, Alienware offers brightly colored
machines. It's not worth much to me, but there's a market...

I've drooled over the alienware site many a time, but I have also built my
own machine. Do you really save that much when building your own? I didn't
that's for sure. I think I spent about the same as it would have cost to buy
it. (that's considering having to buy windows afterwards)....

Id like to know your thoughts on this....

Also the lack of support when building my own pc worries me... and alienware
seems so good cause even if you don't get top-of the line hardware, its the
best quality hardware... what I mean is, if you buy a dell machine, you just
get the cheapest component with those specs, but if you buy alienware, you
get the best component with those basic specs... or at least that is what
their site says...
