Apparantly I have been misunderstood, and I should have been more clear.
When I said prefab, what I should have said don't but pieces of crap
like Compaq and Packard Bell. Today buying a computer from a Best Buy or
CompUSA isn't as bad as it used to be. MOst of those mass produced
systems made better boat anchors than computers. IN MY OPINION, if you
are into heavy graphics, playing the latest games or just want high
quality, don't buy from the retail stores. Go to a place that
specializes in computers and see what they have to offer..
