I was looking at some of the desktop prices at Wanchai as well as dell and couldn't find much difference in the prices. I was going through the specs and everything but there wasn't much in terms of price. Am i missing something?

I wasn't looking at the top of the range stuff but the entry-medium priced desktops.

Just make sure that the prices include or exclude the LCD monitors.

You're right though, not much difference in pricing, but with custom built desktops you can make sure you get the components you want (i.e. reliable drives) which might not be an option with Dell desktops (you get whatever drives they want to put into the system).
