HP computers?

So… i’ve posted b4 that I’m lookin to buy a new computer and I was gettin ready to buy all the parts this weekend until I went to circuit city, lookin for TVs, and I saw this specific computer:

HP m7330n

now… normally I don’t buy “mainstream” computers from stores cause they come with a lot of crappy software, and a few other things. and also in the past I’ve highly been against… HPs and Dells.

the price of the custom one I was gonna get is the same… the differences are:

Custom = liquid cooled | HP = not

Custom = 2gig ram | HP = 1gig ram

HP = ANOTHER 250 gig HDD and new equip | Custom = using current HDDs, and equpiment

HP = CPU AMD X2 4200 | Custom = CPU AMD X2 3800

HP = XP Pro w/ Media Center (dunno if I get CD) | Custom = Windows XP Pro + CD

HP = Warantee, Poor Customer Service (in the past anyway) | Custom = No warantee, no CS

Should I bite the bullet and rise above my morals to get the HP cause it does seamingly outweight custom?
