Re: Prebuilt or built it yourself?

without looking.... I'd say be carefull.

Dell may be selling you an obscure MoBo & lesser CPU than you want.

Example...
Lets say you get a Dell desktop PC. You may find that the Motherboard is not a standard shape, and that the CPU in the motherboard is the highest spec the board will take.
When you first buy it, it's great..... until you want to upgrade it.
You quickly find that you will need a new MoBo, which won't fit in the Dell case, so you need a new case..... then you find out the Dell power supply doesn't fit the new case...

It's worth looking into these things, it may be slightly more expensive to buy the parts & build yourself, but a lot cheaper in the long run.

HTH
