: Depends. If you want software and stuff
: for it, and don't want to deal with any
: hassle of components or doing extensive
: research, I'd say just go with a Dell.
:
: If you're going to build one, as a
: general path, I'd go with one of the
: new chipsets that Intel just released
: yesterday, and a E6700 processor which
: you can pick up for $320~. You can
: definately build yourself a way sweeter
: machine for the same price you'd pay
: for a Dell. Any of the Dells that are
: reasonably priced, around 1000, are at
: least a year behind with their specs,
: so I'm just not a fan of shelling out a
: grand for old components.
:
: Like the cheapest Dell you can get that
: uses that $320 processor I mentioned,
: is like $2000, which is nuts.
:
: Processor + Motherboard = $500
: Graphics Card = $350
: 2 GIG RAM = $200
: HD = $100
: Case = $50
:
: Scavenge a CD-Rom/Mouse/Keyboard from
: your old PC, and you'll save yourself
: like $800 bucks over a Dell. Once
: again, you're getting no software
: though.
:
: If all you want it for is SC2, the
: $1000 Dell will certainly run on any of
: those though I would think, since RTS
: games are generally not cutting edge
: graphics technology.
