Five machines.. where?

[Fyres]

I'm fairly new to this, and I've been reading around with no luck, so I figured I'd ask.

I'm looking to purchase 5 machines, each identicle. I want each machine to be able to run one instance of WoW at max or near max FPS at all times on decent settings. I've seen recommendations for ordering the parts through newegg or something similar, but I'd rather get a system pre-assembled and ready to run from Dell or some similar site so I don't have to mess with setting all of the machines up on my own.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Shop the Dell Outlet store. Spend some time there over a few days and watch what comes and goes. The discount for a scratch and dent is nice. I bought three XPS420s from Dell Outlet in January and am very pleased.

I don't personally suggest Dell's. But they may work for what you want. Just be careful when and if you decide to upgrade. Dell's are notorious for putting in only the bare minimums.

I agree with the above posters. 99.99% of prebuilt pc's are extreme pieces of junk that cost double what they really should

Dell finally made 2 really good moves then took a big step backwards. Good was getting away from the god-forsake clamshell design, good was toolless side mounting harddrives, bad was BTX form factor ZOMFG! It rules out any double wide video cards uneless you want to take a dremel to your heatsink (seen it done).

Now HP/Compaq, I used to hate with a fiery passion, but the last one I saw (admittedly a couple years ago) was actually using a standard ASUS motherboard and had a video card expansion slot for a pretty good price.

Back to Dell, the XPS is a decent machine but those cases are needlessly heavy and the power supplies/boards are proprietary (separate southbridge connector, wtf?).

Still though if you stick to a single wide, like a 8800 GT or lower and make sure to get a good enough power supply (500w+ for the 8800 GT) then you should be fine with the Dell if building is out of the question for you.
