Howdy yall, Im thinkin its time to replace my dell dimension 8250..... its pretty much a dead end... 2.4 ghz, which isnt not upgradeble to anything worthwhile, no pci express, and my hard drives are a mess, oh and i think its time for 2 gig of ram and a new videocard cuz he 9800pro aint quite cuttin it anymore... anyways, im really diggin these new SFF pc's. im commissioning into the air force in may, so ill be moving a bunch during my track to pilot training. i rally like the falcon nw fragbox, but i hear there are cheaper solutions. ive never built my own pc, but im not a total computer idiot, and i know i could handle it. the only thng that worries me is tech suppprt/warranty/ and those nifty restore disks. i dont wanna spend more the 2500 or so, and id like to get my monies worth outta this new pc for a while. i think id like to go witht he AMD chipset, and either a x1800 or 7800 GT. should i just get another dell or an alienware or something? or shell out for the fragbox? or build my own? like a shuttle? what about monarchs? are they still having problems with the chipset in the fragboxs? thanks!

This would have been better posted in the SFF forum.

For the money that you're looking at, you could get more bang for your buck by building it your self. With the money you save, you could be your own service policy.
