A rig is a computer I suppose? In that case you can buy mine. It's a highly suffisticated Acer Aspire with a 2.8 ghz CPU, a monstrous 80 GB of space, a state-of-the-art 6200 series NVidia GeForce GCard, and not to forget a wireless keyboard and mouse. Sort out the DCom error while you're at it will ya?  :P  :D

Self-Build is the way to GO!.  You can choose out all the best parts, your best case (best looking one), best gaming gear.  If you buy it off a site, there is always something you don't want on it.

http://www.dabs.com/

http://www.ebuyer.com/

Them sites are ALWAYS good to get computer parts off.  Take a look.

hey my freind, here is the thing, yes building it yourself could be nice, but if you dont have the computer knowledge to know what power supply to go with what motherboard. and what ram and processor to what motherboard to what video card. if you dont know this stuff and are not sure you could end up spending more money.

buying one out of the box is a real pain as most dont have the right set up for gaming, so you end up upgrading. ecept alien i have good things about them from my computer guy.

so andy the best thing i think you could do is have someone else with great computer knowledge build you one. i mean verminard is a computer wiz he could build one with no problems, but i dont think we ever talked about your computer knowedge. so find a guy to build it also with a custom build they can get you windows xp instead of that total wreak vista. also you can even have them move your hard drive over and you dont even have to reload alot of stuff, what i did when my comp. went belly up last year.

your freind

Thanks for the plug SpaceMarine....

As for building it yourself, if you can by all means do it.  There is nothing better then knowing what you want, what you got, and what you will need if anything goes wrong.  If you can't build it then buy from a CUSTOM company.  I DO NOT recommend DELL, HP or even ALIENWARE (not anymore since they are just a beefed up DELL anyway).  Buy from a company that builds gaming computers more then anything else, let DELL worry about the cheap low end home computers, but if you need power and you want to get a computer a gamer would use...buy from a gamer.  Most custom computer companies build gaming rigs because they play games on their equipment...they know what you need and what it takes to keep you going.  If you do not want to buy from Zero 3 Computers (my company) then I highly recommend buying from a known but not over-sized CUSTOM computer company.  Get what you want from someone who knows exactly what you are talking about....a gamer.
