Hmmm is buying a Dell a good iea?

[Ghoest9]

Im upgrading my old 800 P3. I considered building a system and buying one. The only stuff I want to carry over is my moniter, vid card(GeF Ti 4200 - I figure Ill use this for another 6 months or so), keyboard aand speakers.

I can get
P4 2.66
1 gig of ddr sdram(333 bus)
2 cd drives
120 gig hard drive
56k modem
winXP(I dont have a copy so I have buy one if I build it.)

I can get this for about $1280 from Dell. This is way cheaper than comprable system from Alien ware and it doesnt seem to be much more than I would pay if I built it.

What Im wondring is am I looking at this right? It wouldnt be the first time I missed something rather obvious
