Off topic, but don't go too far overboard - after all, we are watching...heh.

Building my own is all well and good but I can't save money worth a shit so I don't have the fundage to get all the part in one go. Or even two or three goes. But 75 bucks a month I can afford. :D

I normally recommend a DIY system, but 18 months no interest is a pretty damn good deal, plus if there's a problem you have one single place that will be responsible for fixing it. Sometimes a DIY system can give you a scare where you're not quite sure if it's this component or that component that's causing the problem, and you want to be sure before you send back the single bad part. Sounds like it's Circuit City for the win! Best Buy probably has some pretty good deals too.

Just be absolutely sure about future expandability. A friend of mine brought over a Dell PC a month ago that he bought mid-last year to see if we could upgrade the video. There wasn't even a slot mounted on the motherboard for PCI-E or AGP.

Was thinking of tiger direct, they have a warehouse in Raleigh. They have some pre build stuff, bare bones, and all the individual parts if you want to go that route... Don't know anywhere local to you.
