Anybody buy the Costco ZT Systems desktop computers? We're finally ready to replace our Dell XPS Gen 4 system that is almost 6 years old. When we bought it it was a high end system. (I tend to like to pay a bit more for a computer with the hope I can get 1-2 years more out of than most computers. Looks like it worked.) It's been a good computer, but we've finally reached the point where it is limited with some of the things we want to do (webcam performance, etc.).
After pricing things on Dell, HP, Newegg, Costco, etc. - the cheapest thing to do would be to purchase high quality components from Newegg and put it together myself. But I found that if I go with the high end ZT Systems (http://www.ztsystems.com/default.aspx?tabid=1239&productid=27956) I only have to pay about $250 more for a system that comes pre-assembled, 1 year warranty (plus an extra year with Costco), I don't have to worry whether parts are compatible or not, etc. Dell and HP are too expensive - plus I question the quality of the components. The bad thing for me about the ZT System is that I will have to pay sales tax and I already have a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.
If anyone has experience with Costco's ZT Systems - I would appreciate the feedback.
