This is my opinion, but with the quality of low end premade oem PC's, I would rather go with 2-5 lower end boxes than one high end box. The RAM on the gaming box is a bit light, but they wanted like $2k more to upgrade to 12gigs. Bah on that crap so aftermarket ram ftw and its going to increase the cost a couple hundred more. Also it does not include a display and it came to over $3k. Second box with a 19in widescreen lcd came in at $560. The bottom box with easily run 2 copies of wow and prolly can handle 4 if you pumped up the ram. It doesnt take much to play wow, however if your gameing library includes newer games other than WOW, then the cheap box will disapoint. However for under $1800 you can get 3 of them with nice displays and be up and 5 boxing. Thats about $1200 cheaper than it cost me to setup my systems 3.5 years ago, and this is much better hardware.
The top box you could prolly build your own for cheaper, But I dont think you could do the same with the bottom box. Also you can prolly get another 10-20% off on both if you dig around the tubes for some discount coupons.
