This is going to be my very first PC computer. At the moment I am using an iMac with only 2GHz, 1 GB memory, and 200 GB Hard Drive space. (It's my family's computer.) I have explained to my dad that since I'm entering my second year of high school and my brothers are getting older, (one of them is going into high school) we need to get another computer in the house. That is when we decided that we needed one. Today I went to IKEA (Rofl) we found a desk and everything, we went home and found the space that we knew would fit the desk. Went to Dell.com and looked at their desktops, had a look at the Alienware's. Found out the the XPS had better presets than the Alienware, and it cost less. So we compiled our computer and this is what we decided on.
