Thanks for the encouragement. I already ordered it, but it's nice to know I wasn't out of my mind on the decision.
I do understand where the build-it-yourself mentality comes from, and I totally support it. But right now, I'm being lazy and just want a replacement machine. This Dell deal was hard to pass up. I will likely be able to upgrade it quite a bit regarding the RAM, etc., and I will continue to learn a little bit about how the inside of these machines work. (For the first time on my old machine, I had replaced a PSU, a video card, and installed extra fans.)
I did tell myself after placing this Dell order that this would be my last prefab machine. I think I just might take the leap and build one myself 3 to 5 years down the road.
Thanks for all your help, guys, this thread was useful.
And good luck, Frosstbyte. Totally do it.
