    I was shopping around, and i'm stumped.

    i was looking at computer brands

    i've looked at:
    Sony/VAIO
    ABS
    Cyber Power Inc.
    iBuypower
    Alienware
    Gateway
    Dell
    Vicious PC

    i am trying to spend under $1000 and used what little computer hardware knowledge I have to find the right on.

    the games I am trying to run (atm) are: Battlefield 2, Battlefront, and/or SWAT4

    so If you guys can help me, using ^those brands or not, help me find a decent gaming computer.

    Just build it yourself. You'll be getting the same thing except with the company's case. Also you'll be spending a bit more cash to pay the company.

    i personally am not buying the computer, so it is not an option for me to build.

    i would if I could.

    Cyber Power. It's the closest to building your own computer. All the other ones try to steal your money. Especially Alienware.

    I hope you're kidding, lol. Voodoo and Falcon Northwest are the worst money thieves in the computer industry.

    Show me a $5000 Voodoo Computer, and I could put together a better one for $2500. :)

    Don't buy brand comps.. Build your own, cheaper and probably better :D But if you're gonna buy a brand comp.. Alienware has a few nice cheap ones.

    yea building it yourself would be the best bet...you can spend less because you know what you need and dont need...if your not a gamer you dont need an amazing graphics card...stuff like that

    If you want good customer service, DONT GO DELL.

    They have you on the phone line for 3 hours and then they allow you to talk to some clerk in India... (half the time they dont even help) <_<
