I used to build my own desktops, with cheap cases and free windows. Last year I found a Dell Inspiron desktop with nice case and hardware for much cheaper than a custom build. I don't game, just 3D work so I have a workstation card from before that I just popped into the Dell and it's good to go. Its sad that there's so few choices, even less in Canada...so in this case it would be Dell.

What is the best bang/buck laptop brand?
duperstar replied to fur's question in What Notebook Best Fits My Needs?
I spent $879 on a y410p recently. If I didn't have work specific requirements, I would have gone for one of the new Dell Inspiron 7000's. There are some nice options there. You can find cheaper Asus Vivobook's with touchscreen for about $650. If the funky build doesn't bother you I'd say these give you more hardware for the price MINUS a dedicated graphics card. The discreet card requirement really messed up my buying options, but I am very, VERY happy with the y410p. It has same specs as a $2700 macbook pro. Isn't that bang enough for your buck?
