I used to love them as well, though it was expensive the one I bought was well made and with exactly the parts I wanted. Sadly they just don't offer that experience any more.
The last computer I bought for the wife was a Gateway FX which came configured with every choice I would have bought anyway, and for a good price. Unfortunately it looks like they haven't updated their product line since then.
I upgrade my PC with hand picked parts for the best price/performance, and I don't think SSDs are there yet. Also, I have a lot of large software so saving a few seconds of launch time on some packages isn't enough. OTOH, if you doubled your RAM with the price difference, I wonder if that would speed up more things more effectively.
