I have problem with my graphic cards, and think about solutions. I have the screen and mouse. So I did a little check on Dell. I just did a search on my favourite settings. This is not hopeless. I have some money coming in this summer.

I will be using all exp and stuff packs, probably running several different games on the same computer. At the moment I'm running 2 games with the same exp and stuff packs. A package and a sims3pack game. I also run photoshop. The pc I have is custom made and is soon 2 years old.

What do you think about these specs? Any reason I should go for the most expensive? Can the second setup be ok? 7990,- kroner? I have chosen a cd/dvd player, but I could probably have a bluray too?

Doesn't look like the graphics is configurable. And you should note the GT 545 / 550 has a Yellow Maybe. Plus the price for that? *shudders
Also, last but not least, the funky looking slimline (does it look slimline?) chassis does not look like it is easily upgradeable in the future.

Yep, slimline! It uses "Mini-ITX Motherboard".

ah ... ok, so slimline is a nono. Thanks. I couldn't even find the graphics card in the list I was looking at. Where did you look?

Inspiron looks like they have good square boxes.

Where did I look for what? The configurable portion or the model#s?
- The Model#s are right there on the page you linked to, under "Skjermkort".
- To check for configurability: for each of the system you expressed interest in, I click on the Configure/Customise button, then click on Graphics and saw there's only one radio button. Conclusion: not configurable. :)
