hmmm, i have always ordered from Dell and had no problems....

We got one from Dell USA once and support was great. Dell Canada is a different matter.

it's two early for vista, just get a duo processor with atleast two gigs of ram so you can upgrade later.

And costco and newegg has the best deals on computers.

I would have said dell but you said you want to try another way.. get someone to build one for one

I'm looking at this one http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...Tab=0&NoMapp=0

Whatever you do, if you're going with a Core2Duo, DO NOT buy an MSI 975XPUE motherboard. You will run into multiple BIOS issues with your memory, audio, etc.

If you want a Vista-ready PC, buy a video card that supports DX 10, like the Nvidia 8800 GTS/GTX.
