Hey Lads and Ladies, Decided to buy instead of self build and just wondering what do the experts think about this PC from Acer? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/200545 or this one from Dell: http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/6705867/art/dell/studio-xps-8100-650.html

Its not dreadful value, if the mobo, RAM, case, cooling and PSU weren't trash. Unfortunately, I suspect they are...

Also the graphics card is a bit underspecced - if its a workstation why slap in anything more than a G220, if its a multirole rig then why not put in a GTX460?!?
