A very tempting option! Especially if I could find an extended tower to add more than 2 hard drives in it, and a nice powerful power supply. But for me right now, it comes down to the time required, and the fact that you can get these pre-built systems pretty cheap.
I'm thinking Dell, as my current one has been great, and I have the EPP discount available. Might just wait a while until they are dumping the fully equipped Vista Media PCs cheap. Right now they seem to come at a bit of a premium.
To add a hard drive and optical drive to my Dell required 8 simple screws for the bay adapter rails (included) and plug in the cables (included and easily reached). It was easy to remove the PC cover and the sound insulation was also much better than for HP. I've heard that Dell quality has fallen a bit since I bought that old one, but I guess I should have just stuck with what worked!
