Computer purchased. I am very happy. At the end, I got them to throw in one more item for "free"--a 4 GB flash drive. Computer list price for educator--$3,800. Purchase price--$3,057. Free shipping. Free Vista Upgrade. Both figures ignore taxes.

Awaiting imminent arrival? I'd say the extra's make it a worth while purchase (especially the warranty) so happy fiddling! May I ask you post a 3Dmark score for me, I'd like to see how the CPU performs The $1,800 was for the 'barebones' gateway system the second system is just for fun... I will make up a spreadsheet for both today.

When you do get around to building your own, I'm sure you will find it incredibly easy! At the time I can source the products for you again

Thanks crabby. Sourcing the products, and actually, knowing what all I would need is more the problem for me that putting the pieces together (given instructions).

The only thing I hate when making a PC is attaching the motherboard pins Sound is especially tedious - my fingers are just too big!!! An easy place for you to source everything from would be http://www.tigerdirect.com, they seem pretty reasonable to me.

Znod, thought you may want to check this from Gateway.

I don't even want to think about the price. One thing for sure, it won't be cheap!
