[CoLoCo] [off topic] need advice on building computer

[Rick Ross]

Just to throw some more ethanol onto the fire, I went to
computershopper.comand punched up Desktops>Gaming and they sort of
review a series of
preconfigured gaming systems from all the major players on one page. You can
click each one and see a breakdown of the guts, as well as the site's take
on the system and its price. Just throwin' it out there...
