Matt, Antec was always good to me in the past- their cases & PSU´s are all still alive & kicking.<br><br>To your question, Tom. I´ve actually been pricing out parts to put together another machine from scratch, myself.<br>
There are lots of decent pre-builts out there nowadays. Long gone are the days of building machines part-by-part through mail-order (boy am I dating myself hehe).<br><br>However, for what I´m trying to do, I don´t see many decent rigs at affordable prices.<br>
I´m building a Linux gaming rig. Not something crazy to compete w/AlienWare, mind you, but a good intermediary machine.<br>The pre-built rigs (ala Dell) have ok specs but I´d normally have to add-in a better video card & beefier PSU.<br>
This makes it so that I might as well build it from the ground-up, imho.<br><br>--miguel<br>
