Well it should come as no surprise that I'm doing this based on the number of times I've bitched about my homemade system in the past. With Christmas coming up and myself in need of a new computer I've already started looking. It's one thing I've got on top of my list following a few bills that still need to be paid off. As of now the big winner is the HP Pavilion P6130Y. Best Buy has it for $629 which is fairly cheap considering how much I paid for Brandy's floor model A1130N back in 2005 at Circuit City. The key features I'm loving are:

-8 Gigs of RAM out of the box (expandable to a max of 16)
-750 GB hard drive
-AMD Phenom Quad Core processor
-A free upgrade from Vista Premium to Windows 7 if purchased before 1/31/10

All in all I'm liking what I'm seeing but I'm far from a computer expert. My main concern is having a desktop that can use high speed internet since my dad's piece of junk is forced to use dial up. A large amount of storage is also a plus since I put shitloads of music onto the drive. Finally there's nothing I love better in my free time than playing WoW so that's a major one too. Needless to say I'm sure it can handle all that. I guess my main question is if there is a similar PC that is close or better than the main features of this one for a lower price. I still remember how overpriced BB was the last time I was shopping for a PC. While I'm still far away from the actual purchase I still want to check my other options before I commit to them.
