I ordered a new system from X-infinity. Although I'm satisfied with the machine so far, I wasn't pleased with the vendor. It took about a month to get the machine since I ordered, plus they upgraded three of my initial components (motherboard, graphics card, case) without asking. A funny thing is that they upgraded the graphics card without charging (and I don't think they noticed) so I didn't complain too much. Here is what I got.
Motherboard: Asus P5QL PRO Core 2 Extreme (Intel P43) - $99.99
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E8500 (3.16GHz, 1333MHz, 6MB) - $199.99
RAM: Super Talent PC6400 2GB (DDR2, 800MHz) x 4 - $89.99
HDD: Seagate ST3750640NS (SATA2, 750GB, 7200RPM, 16MB) - $89.99
ODD: Samsung SH-S203N (SATA, 20X, DVD+-RW) - #32.99
Graphics: nVidia GeForce 9400GT (1GB, 2-DVI) - $49.99
CPU Fan: Thermaltake CL-P0391 - $49.99
Power: Seasonic SS-600HT (600W, ATX) - $65.99
Case: Thermaltake M9 VI1000BWS - $79.99
Overall system costs $758.91, which is a pretty good deal (as long as it stays well). I just figured out similar machine could have been bought from Dell with $1,099 (including MS Windows) but what the hell; after all, it is $300 cheaper and I didn't have to buy Windows.
