Part of Dell.

You can get 3 yr warranties with many of them.
You have 15days (?) to return your purchase w. money back instead of
Dell retails' 30 days.
Business and small business you can still get XP with. Precision
workstations are the biz power machines. Great quality and quiet cases
and components
Home and Home office has only Vista I think. XPS Performance are the
gaming machines.
These are pre-built machines ... scratch and dent, refurbished,
returned, display models etc.
You have to get to and click on "Check Availability and Prices" to get
to the database of stock which you can query as you please to see what's
available. Know or learn what you are looking for in terms of models,
HD's, video cards, sound cards etc.
At the end of the quarter such as now, the database turns over FAST.
You can put one in your cart and in checking out find someone already
bought it but the DB lag didn't reflect it. Pricing is fast and dirty
and isn't necessarily proportional. The HUGE deals that pop up get
snapped up fast by lurkers.
Be sure to "View Details" to see the complete manifest for each machine
in the DB.
All in all ... a whole lot quieter, easier, cheaper and faster than
building your own.

I can see how building such a gaming computer would be an interesting
project in itself but my advice to you is that you should just buy
one but Dell Surplus in the next two weeks... before Jan 31st when
their business quarter concludes. (They always dump product via the
surplus warehouse just prior to quarter's end)

Is Dell Surplus part of Dell? I googled this name and found only
third party surplus places.
