i already paid for it in full. but it did cost a good penny. but since business has been going very well for me lately, to where i can sit comforatably and not need to worry about having to work at a mcdonalds drive thru. i do flash animated websites and applications and i get an average of 3-4 new jobs per week, plus monthly maintenance fees, i can afford this nice little high powered gadget lol. but i am looking into a new desktop for my wife, she likes to play games like command and conquer and spore, so i am looking for advice on what is a good brand of desktop that i will not need to put to much into. it will be for her, and she will only be using it for gaming and work. we will never go with a gateway, emachine, hp or compaq so any advice on a good machine out of the box would be great. thanks
