    Honestly, while I might buy a laptop from a boutique shop, I can't say that I'd ever buy a desktop from one. If I had to buy a pre-built, I'd go with a big name company because at least I know what I'm getting, even if it is shit.

    The price seems expensive for what you're getting. And it's the box alone with nothing else. The hard drive is seriously lacking. 500GB? With the amount of money you'd spend, you should at least have a 1TB drive.

    Why the fuck would I need a terabyte? When I get it I will have the 500gb drive (which is already a shit ton of memory) and a 250gb backup drive. Also this is still cheaper than buying a dell or HP.

    Just saying, it fills up fast. Didn't know you had the 250GB drive either, PC profile specs are down. The last sentence surprises me, but I don't doubt it.

    I've filled up my 640 GB hard drive (actual 596 GB) pretty fast in 4 months, I'm down to 156 GB left. My girl cartoons only take up 140 GB , so that's still 300 GB filled from games and programs. Trust me, get a 1 TB hard drive. That's going to be my next investment actually, after an HD 5850.
