  I totally agree with David.  I just built 
  a fast AMD Athlon machine for $675 delivered without monitor, 
  speakers, and software.  It took about two hours to build and the usual 
  one week to get Windows installed several times and 
  everything working.  Now I have a totally upgradeable machine 
  that I know thoroughly.
   
  I bought everything from NewEgg.com and can't say 
  enough about their service - 3 1/2 day delivery of everything from California 
  to Maine, all on the Internet without a phone call.  Their web site lets 
  you research the products and store your wish list on-line before 
  ordering.  You can even ask other builders to rate your design.  The 
  only disadvantage is that they don't provide detailed technical 
  advice.  You have to be able to solve the problems.  They do have an 
  excellent return policy and their customers rave about the 
  service.
   
  There are several hardware review sites.  
  Try www.tomshardware.com for 
  starters.

    Neo,
     
    Firstly, have you tried to defragment your hard 
    drive. Seriously,  as someone who speaks from experience, why not build 
    your own. It's very easy. You'll need to set aside a day, but if you have 
    researched the problem well enough to specify your own machine,  then 
    putting it together yourself is v. easy.
