Okay, on a whim I pulled up Dell to do a side-by-side comparison with my system. With the free 17 inch flat panel upgrade that they're offering currently, Dell would have given me a slightly better (but roughly equivalent) system for about $150 less . But, with shipping and the delay time to build it, I probably wouldn't yet have it if I had ordered it at the same time. Hmm... that's how I can justify it. Time value of money, convenience, easy free credit, instant gratification: yeah, that's worth 150 bucks (or so I'll keep telling myself for the rest of the night )

Good luck on your search (if you haven't already gone with the Dell),
