[QUOTE="imported_SuXoR, post: 191846, member: 7931"] Obviosly the latter is a little bit better machine. But both machines have a free pci expess slot (just make sure its not the short pci express slot) so you can add a good video card later. Right out of the box it looks like the machines will not be good gamers. I haven't seen the benchmarks on the radeon express 200, but I am guessing that they are slow. For CZ, they should be fine, but for source you should get a better video card. Why are you looking at compaq? Is it the financing? Don't get me wrong, $400 for a new pc is pretty nice (i spent $350 on my video card alone) but you should be able to find other brands with comparabe pricing. If you get one look for one with at lest 1 gig of ram and a free pci express slot. Also, does indy know how to build machines? Again, aside from the financing stuff, that would be your best route. I know that newegg has the bill me later thing where you get stuff interest free for 90 days. Just don't go over 90 days or you will get socked for like 21% of the full balance from the transaction date. Let me know what you think. [/QUOTE]
