I'm going to need a new PC for college, and I'm wrestling with the choice of either getting this one from dell through NJIT (at a lower price) or trying to build my own PC with the same amount of money.

The numbers all seem pretty good, and it comes with what sounds like a good service plan, but could you build a better PC with the same money?

Thats a mean comp, seems way underpriced to my knowledge. I'm a bit sceptacle of that site.

It's from the New Jersey Institute of Technology - the college I'm going to. They've worked out a deal with Dell for the low price.

What the???? 4GB of RAM?

Yeah, go for it. It's worth the money. Though you might need a more powerful video card if you want to play MTW2.

Good god. You're at college for studying/working, not gaming.
