If have seen the Gateway Computer cow commercial, you know they are offering a 15" LCD monitor with their $999 desktop PC. Dell tops that deal. You can compare them side by side:<ul>

As you can see the Dell is a better deal with the better processor and CD-RW. The only thing that the Gateway offers more than the Dell is the AOL membership. You may say that building a computer is a better deal. Yes it is, but not everyone can do it. Let me warn you, if you build a system for a friend or family member, YOU instantly become their tech support for LIFE. Trust me, it`s no fun to fix someone`s computer all the time. Let Dell deal with them instead. <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=9eASk0x48lo&offerid=34197.10000163&type=3&subid=0" target="_blank">DELL</a> 
Don`t need the LCD monitor? Get the Dimension 2100 for just $499 after $100 rebate! That would be a pretty stripped down system, so I duly recommend going with the $999 system. <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=9eASk0x48lo&subid=1&offerid=34197.1&type=10&tmpid=442&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fwwwc.us.dell.com%252Fus%252Fen%252Fdhs%252Fproducts%252Fmodel_dimen_1_di men_2100.htm" target="_blank">DIMENSION2100</a>
