So I sent via UPS a computer (my older gaming one.. 3.4ghz intel HT) pretty nice comp 2-3 years back.. and still pretty good now..

well the computer arives DOA.. doesn't work all dead.... thank god for being overinsured

So now got about $1000 heading my way to replace it.. any thoughts on ways to go building or buying a prebuilt or barebones?

any suggestions and thoughts are appreciated.
