Dell's with PCI express now out

[Mr. Natural]

A pretty decent gaming rig here (http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l=en&oc=dim84rm&s=bsd) for $1,000. Already has 1 gig of ddr2 memory and features an x300 video card. Can upgrade the card....for a price.

Alienware PCI Express systems are ready too.... :)

My only concern with the Dell systems would be cooling. We are now purchasing Dells at work and they are really nice and quiet. That quiet comes at a price. I'm not buying anything with the newer cpu's, after all we don't need something like that to run spreadsheets and word processors.
I think my biggest concern is premature hard disk failure. A hot box will cause problems for a hard disk. I guess time will tell.
