    Dude, seriously, Don't get a pre-made one... pre-made = RIPOFF... Even if you don't care for price for over 1k you should be able to bet a pwnage comp... If you are scared you 'f it in the a' when you put it together, get the shop you buy it off to do it for you, its about $75 more here to have them do that... And whoever said laptops > PCs you obviously have no idea.. If i put some water cooling in my pc (which you can't do on a lappy) I'm sure i could safely overclock it past any laptop. Even with a nice CPU heatsink/fan i could clock past any top o' the range laptop. (by that mumbojumbo, for all you who dunno what i'm talking bout, it just means my comp could go faster)

    Well not really, at any time a laptop comes out it is a reduced copy from a desktop that already exist. My example of x386 was really off but at any time Cost/Cost Time/Time desktop will always offers better performance. The only thing that laptop has is mobility.

    Some laptops are "godly" but their not even out yet that a PC already has better specs. Each pieces of laptop is a reduced desktop part. Either the size reduction reduces performances, or by the time they come out desktop already have something better.

    Let me laugh one more time at the macbook air and those performances. lol ;)

    @Xeon-Genesis : I did not meant to be mean sorry about that :(

    @Simbob : You are 100% right, put in the same price but do it yourself. Pre-made = rape.

    @Fenix : Ask someone who knows computer to build you one for 1300$ and you'll get the bomb. Jon seems someone to be up to the task. (Don't listen to is OS choice tho, Vista sucks) lol jon ;)

    I'll walk you through assembly on the phone if ya give me like $50. ;) That way you can pimp the PC for $1300.

    Also, give me another $50 and I'll go shop for you and buy the best components for your $$.

    Just give me a price and I'll meet it.

    I guarantee you get the best performance for the best deal.
