no choice here b'coz it all depends upon ur choice of components.branded pcs od ALIENWARE are unmatchable and certainly DELL"s workstation vry good performance but they are way too costly. as is said all depends upon your choice of components. today u can get a branded (withiut windows) with Athlon64 3000+ and SATA, AGP 8x along with onboard video in about Rs.21000 8) . cool right.
but assembled ones hav their benefits like the ability to b customized.
hey buddy if u hav money go 4 "power pc G5". but assembled vs branded is sumthing like "Rupa" vs "Jockey"
