Default Buying a computer from Dell.

Hello Fellow Calgarypuckians.

I have a question regarding Dell. How many people here have ordered Dell computers? How many have been satisfied? How many unsatisfied? (by the computer Frank, settle down )

Story: I originally saved for a computer over the summer, even bought a new Monitor in preperation, but when the time came to pull the trigger I ended up spending it on a few fishing trips and some clothes instead. Well as luck would have it my comp has decided it is time to start crashing. Last night half way through a lab report my comp crashed, unacceptable.

Also any game that I play, be it UO or CS, runs choppy and the graphics are distorted. So I am guessing my vid card is on the way out, or is already there, directly related to the crashing. When I try to play a more graphics intense game, my comp lasts 5 minutes.

Anyway, I need to buy a new comp, but I do not have the funds. So I was looking at the Dell.ca finance option.

I built this system: cant get link to work see below post please.

That is pretty close to what I originally planned to build. I would finance over the winter and then pay it off within my first few pay checks come summer time, so that would be 7 months of interest, probably 8.

Question: Do you guys think this is a legit system at a good price? Buying from Dell, does that hamper my future upgrade options? Whatever hapened to Rudy on The Cosby Show?

Please, bless me with your wisdom.
