Personally, I prefer cash. I can do anything with cash. I can only eat Cheetos (and while I will eat Cheetos, they don't top my list on snack foods anyways).
Anyways, I'd recommmend building your own system next time. You can customize it anyway you want, specify all your parts to your needs, and probably do it cheaper than buying a generic box from a manufacturer, and it will probably last 2-3 times longer.
The big brands (Dell, HP, etc.) all seem to go the absolute cheapest route when it comes to items such as hard drives. I know this for a fact, because I've had to replace at least 10 different hard drives in 10 different computers from friends/associates in the past year alone. 2 of them were the exact same dell model (Dimension 4700). These HDs are the slowest, cheapest, and junkiest ones they can buy. And people wonder why they fail. Fortunately, I was able to get most of the information off the old drives before they totally died on me, making the people I was fixing them for very happy (especially the pictures of their kids that they have been saving for past 2 years).
