Have you ever considered building your own computer? It is not very difficult and the sense of accomplishment is very good. Case-Mobo-cpu-ram-hd-vidcard. If you can replace a hard drive you can build the box. If you need help, you have us here at B1.

I have replaced hard drives, cpus, cards and that kind of stuff, but have always been a little afraid to build one myself from scratch. Are there any good sites that can help a person through the process? Besides the great advice from B1 members, that is. Case-Mobo-cpu-ram-hd-vidcard...Seems pretty straightforward.
Reading more about this I feel I will go with a desktop. And will probably only get an extended warranty direct from the manufacturer if I buy one pre-built. Getting a little more fascinated about building my own now. My wife's gunna love to hear that!
Thanks for the helpful replies from all of you.[/b][/quote]

just customize it.
they build it for you, free.
and they're cheap.
I dunno about they're warranty.
But I never get any extended warranty on anything.
They never work when you need them to work. Meaning, people will say 'its not covered by warranty' and make up a stupid reason.
The one time we did get an extended warranty. It was stupid.
The CD-ROM drive began to fail, and so I took it (to best buy in fact) and they said they'd have to send the whole computer to Houston (i'm in tx...so i dunno where it would go for u) and they'd have to work on it there.
I was like 'no' ..walked to the back of the store, bought a new CD-ROM, and installed it. Much easier.
In short: No. DO NOT get an extended warranty. They've never worked for me. And as always, when it breaks...it'll usually be just a month or two after all warranties expire.
