My dream pc is
currently at 15k. That price has varied between 10k and 15k  (Yikes!)   Have
fun with the configuration tool.. :)

As for Dells. They are great for getting
support in terms of drivers and such, but if one were to look at each
individual component, you'll see some shortcuts being taken. My current one is
3 years old, used for work. It's had various repairs over the three years.
Goes about 6-8 months before needing something. Most common problem is the
main board with the integrated video being fried. Good thing for warranty. The
repair folks have been on time, and efficient at getting the parts and
repairing. I'm due for another PC soon. 

I can't be bothered building pc's
anymore. Not worth my time getting everything to work together. 

Regards,
Brian
