Default Re: Please rate this system I put together - good deal?

I put together a slightly better system on Dell for the same price except a Core2 E6600 and 2GB memory this time. Only problem is they force the widescreen monitors

Did you attempt putting one together at mwave? I'd estimate you could put one together for about $300 less than dell ($400 less if you drop the UPS) with a better cpu than an e6600, a much better video card, all high quality pieces, and still have a 1 year warranty on the hardware.

Plus you could choose any monitor you want (my guessed price figures you'll get a 20" non-widescreen monitor capable of doing 1600x1200).

Btw a wide screen won't stretch your desktop. It just offers more horizontal pixels in comparison to vertical pixels. Only problem is that until you hit 24" wide screens you are going to be stuck with a 1680x1050 resolution.

It's not horrible but on most poker sites you won't be able to fit 4 tables without overlap unless you resize them.
