Err what do you exactly mean by Class A product? A properly assembled machine will cost half of what Dell or HP or anyone else charges you. Its not very hard to assemble a machine either. Can be done by anyone in 30 minutes.
The only thing that dell makes that I really like are their monitors.
@BUSA: You can't compare the clock speeds of core 2 duos with the older pentium D chips. All core 2 duos run at lower clocks as they have a much more efficient architecture. For example to multiply two integers, a Pentium D takes 14 clock cycles whereas a C2D does it in 3 clock cycles. The low end E2140 runs at 1.6GHz but will outperform the fastest Pentium D ever made. (I think that was 3.73 GHz)
@chetan: Get any AGP graphics card like the ATI x1950 pro and more RAM. It'll be hard to get a new socket 754 board now and even if you do, it just wont be worth the money. The best option is to dump everything and go PCI Express.
