I wanted a computer for gaming, People say macs are expensive, dells are cheap, but you get crap that people stopped using years ago and is completely obsolete for it! For 1200 bucks, I get a 1.5 Ghz Processor, 19" Display, 2 Gigs RAM, windows XP media Center(exactly the same as Pro, but looks a bit cooler and is less stable as a consequence), crappy dell photosoftware. And Integrated Intel Graphics and Sound, and did i mention a 5400 RPM 160 GB HD! OMFGWTFBBQ! That is a deal that is not great!

As Tuoder once said:
I can draw faster than Intel Integrated Graphics.

If you want a computer for gaming, Dell is a cheap way to go. They aren't that bad either. Just make sure you get a decent video card and a 7200rpm HD if you are going to use a laptop.

a) The computer has a 1.6 ghz processor.
b) The computer has Integrated Graphics.
Therefore:
This computer will suck worse than my TI-83 calculator for games.
QED.

Same here. I'm leaning towards auctioning it, but I just put in a new motherboard very much geared for upgrades so I feel kinda bad about it.

If you want a rig for gaming then your spending too much on the MacPro imho.
As others have stated buidling one is the best route as you get to choose exactly what components to into the machine and you don't have to settle for intergrated graphics.
I thought your original post was a joke because you wanted a gaming machine but you chose a dell with intergrated graphics - made no sense at all. Why not just by a mini then?
My MacPro rocks but I didn't buy it solely to play games though on occasion I've been known to play one or two.

It has to be a joke. There are standard configurations on Dell's site with better specs for less money.

For gaming, it's a POS.

If you want a computer for gaming. A retail brand should never be an option. You should be building one.

What model number did you get? Intel integrated just plain old sucks. Drop in a discreet video card. You don't need anything special, just some single-core 256MB card. How many and what kind of slot are available for you to use?
