plus its not support building it, its support when something goes wrong, or blows up and to most people, time is money. A fair comparison would include everything offered by dell, yours fell quite short of that, of course you can make one system look better by leaving stuff out.

Okay, thinking about it maybe it's more of a user preference thing. To me, the warranty, the software, the tech support, all of that doesn't mean a thing to me. I don't look at that when looking for a computer. It makes no difference to me. I look the quality of the components, and if it suits to what I need. That's why I left that stuff out, because it doesn't matter to me at all. In my eyes, they were compared correctly, and the machine I posted was the winner. Why you think I was refering to support building it is beyond me, of course it's support for when something goes wrong.
And on the subject of tech support, from what I understand it's free tech support, or $80/hour to talk to someone who actually has half a brain. Doesn't sound like much of a deal to me. When I've built computers for friends, I tell them right then and there, if there is ever a problem tell me and I'll do whatever I can to fix it.
