I still plan on saving up and building one by the end of the year, then giving the Dell to my wife or son. My problem is that I hate waiting. I was trying to save this past year to custom build, now i just want a new PC. Illogical but this is a stop gap. If i didn't have Dell credit this wouldn't have been a problem, but seeing how much money was on it and seeing that i could get it in two weeks was hard to pass up.
