i have a dell 5160 (said to be dell worst laptop) and i love it! it has been a good preformer and even pulls medium low settings in BF2 (go 5200) also the dell tech support was great! i called once on the phone (waiting and all) only 30mins and got my new power adapter next day shiping... needed a new motherboard called only one hour on the phone and got a technician sent to my house 2 days from that fixed it... so i find nothing wrong with dell i just something more powerfull now

...It uses an ATI X1300 graphics card. Plus, water cooling can be a pain in the butt, and imagine if it leaks. That Dell looks pretty good, except for the graphics card. Then there's the issue of the Dell crapware. If you order the Windows reinstallation disk, you'll be able to format the hard drive and have a fresh copy of Windows without any of the crapware.

I looked at the comp with the D805 to much for me to deal with... i got the dell with the renstalation disk so i will reformat it when i get it... and im playing on buying a 7600gt from newegg later (149 $ right now) when the x600 puts out thx guys!

For the poster wanting to buy a good gaming system for less than $1,000.00; exactly how old are you? Have you finished high school yet? Your grammar and spelling are horrible.
If you are still in high school; I may be much older than you but I can certainly say that I did and still do appreciate my teachers from grade school level through my high school years for instilling in me the fortitude to spell words correctly; to use good grammar and to compose an understandable sentence as well.

I dont belive this is a good value for the money (dell is faster for less) .. although the case looks sweet... thx anyway

A Sempron in a $1,000 system? Very bad value for the dollar. Good luck blasting the crapware. By the way, you won't be too happy with the performance of that X600. I have one (not HyperMemory), and it sucks, even though I've overclocked it.
