Odd, my friend's HP has a regular ATX case and normal power supply as far as I can tell. Its a few years old though.

Can't we all just agree that building your own computer will always defeat any brand computer....?

Brands like Dell, Gateway, HP, Emachine all just put cheap **** in the computer because they want money, they don't care about the performance...we do! Therefore we should build the computers with exactly what we want/need.

that is my 2 dollars...(not cents)
hah

IMHO Better performance and in some cases price.

And yes muffy, ofcourse building is much better than buyin from those manufacturers.

Evil Empire = Intel doing extra work to make sure its compiler runs apps on AMD slower.

My housemate's eMachine had a spare PCI slot which I wanted to put a WiFi card into - but they hadn't made a cut-out in the back of the case for the back plate of the card to go into: I would have had to start drilling and sawing which I wasn't prepared to. Anyway, out came the modem and in went the Wi-Fi!
