CPrompt: Well what I'm reffereing to is two PCs both friends, lower end models.. on both the motherboard is attached to a steel mounting, so your stuck with your case, the AGP port's port is missing, so you can see where you could possibly solder on your own. Only enough PCI slots, just enough power cables and only one real hard disk bay. That said im sure if your get it first time with all the bells and whistles you can swap out your RAM etc.. but if you go for the basic models, celeron type thingies you get screwed. Also, its my opinion that the parts they use aren't the highest of quality, but if you do have a problem DELL will sort it out quick smart with little to no hassle. I had to replace my speakers , monitor, hard disk, dvd drive, keyboard and mouse within 2 years of its purchase. That said i've had enough problems with parts from komplett. But yea, I mean if your not into the whole upgrade thing, you can just buy your custom machine and have them upgrade it, I'm a bit more hands on personally. If your staying away from DELL & HP, I'd be tempted to say go IBM, but the two IBM workstations I've used had custom power supplies and the like that were'nt compatable with anything else/upgradable. I had to eBay me a Voltage Regulator to install a second processor, it would have cost over a $100 to buy from IBM. Im refering to a dual 866 which I still use. So bottom line, HP workstations (not home pcs) seem to be the bee's knees IMHO. Last summer in a place I worked they got a load of dual processor HPs, had a look inside, there seemed to be plenty of space inside, nothing out of place, and they ran quite cold and quietly.
