| Ok, heres my problem. I have a preferred account through dell and get discounts, and special offers. I am starting a new business that will involve making movies and music. I have already priced a decent computer through dell that should handle what I plan to use it for. However I know Dell can be high on parts. Here are the specs I ended up with: PROCESSOR Quad Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5405 (2.00GHz,2X6M L2,1333) OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista Business Bonus-Windows XP Professional downgrade 2ND PROCESSOR Quad Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5405 (2.00GHz,2X6M L2,1333) PRODUCTIVITY Microsoft® Office 2007 Small Business Edition and Adobe Acrobat 9.0 STD VIDEO CARD 4GB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro FX5800, Dual Monitor DVI Capable MEMORY 4GB, DDR2 SDRAM FBD Memory, 667MHz, ECC (8 DIMMS) OPTICAL DRIVE 16X DVD-ROM with Cyberlink Power DVD™ HARD DRIVE 1TB SATA 3.0Gb/s,7200 RPM Hard Drive with 16MB DataBurst Cache™ MONITOR FREE! Dell 19 inch™ 1909WFP Widescreen Flat Panel, Analog edit 2ND MONITOR Dell 19 inch E198 Flat Panel, Analog SOUND Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeMusic(D),Dolby® Digital 5.1,VSTA $6,076 Price includes peripherals, and a 4 year full service warranty. Since I am getting a start up loan, the warranty is important, but I also don't want to spend more for less, If there is a better company for this kind of computer that can build me a better one for a similar price. I also don't really want to build one from scratch, since I get no warranty doing it that way. However I am open to all suggestions. Any ideas and help are much appreciated. |

| Seems like a reasonable price, I know that graphics card is friggin' expensive, and with two Xeons in there, I don't think you'll find a better price prebuilt. |

| The dell one is better suited for heavy graphics and video editing. However, they are both very top of the line systems. |

| If you are starting a business you should definitely buy the Dell. iBuyPower uses horrible parts and has horrible RMA service. It looks like a good spec for what you want it to do.
