I work in the computer industry and before I would by a package from any company I would always build my own system. That way you get exactly what you want and what you need at a price that you think is fair. You can build a fairly top notch system for under one thousand bucks easily depending on what you are using it for. The most important part is to check out different vendors and read reviews posted on known websites or magazines about the parts that you are interested in.
