    Trying to get a system at a reasonable and best price, like so many others;) -

    Been trying to compare HP m9000t series with Systemax at Tiger direct, I may be comparing apples and oranges:confused

    I'm thinking the HP is a better deal and maybe box but I really don't know. Is there somewhere I could look for a box like the HP that would have the duel core and 2G mem and decent graphic card with 19# monitor? Comments or suggestions welcome:)
