    PC Died. Build or buy?

    So yeah, its not worth the hassle of building another one to save a questionable 1-200 bucks. I'll pay dell this amount to put everything together for me. The risks involved with building my own currently outweigh the benefits. Here's the system: XPS 720, Intel Core2 Duo processor E6750...
