Copy and paste the link, the | in the link is causing it not to work on vn.
Now, I know I could probably get the same system a lot cheaper, or a much better system for the same price if I built it myself, but I'm living in a dorm right now with VERY limited space and I'm pretty dead set on getting an all-in-one.
Now, how well would these two setups run games like DAoC? How about dual logging? Down the line if I wanted to buy a new video card, is it possible to upgrade with these systems? How are the video cards as far as watching movies? Can they handle bluray? Do you have any other all-in-ones recommendations for $900 or less? I also dabble in editing, could this handle Sony Vegas and Photoshop? Any specific brands I should look into or steer away from? Which of these two would you choose if you were me?
Thanks for any help.

DELL All-in-one
Didnt work because your link was in Compare mode and only 1 system appears.
As for a gaming computer, All-in-ones are basically Laptops....this also limits their upgradability as that one might be maxed cept for a larger HD.

Performance-wise this CPU is slower than standard and middle-power Athlon II due to lower operating frequency.

When it comes to All In One PCs, the iMac is king. That being said, the Asus you linked is OK. GPU is fairly mediocre.

For $200 more you can get this Asus Laptop (Best Buy) that is basically a decent gaming laptop and should run rings around that all-in-one.
New Egg's version

Well between those two choices, I'd go with the ASUS because it uses a pretty good desktop processor. The Dell us using a low end AMD mobile processor, you aren't getting much gaming or anything CPU intensive done in a timely manner with that. Both have pretty weak graphics though.
You can't upgrade the video cards in these because the power supplies are way too small. Probably no room for it anyway.
I'm thinking a laptop would probably be better too unless you really want a 23 inch touch screen. This ASUS laptop has a better balance of CPU and GPU that is more ideal for gaming for about the same price as the ASUS AIO.

Well what kind of PC could I build for around $900, including the monitor. I'd like it to be a decent size monitor as well as I do a lot of streaming on my computer for sporting events, movies, etc. I already have Windows 7 install disc I could use, so I wouldn't need to buy that.

I suggest a laptop instead. If you need a larger display you can always buy one. Maybe even get your parents to spring for a dock.

I already have a MacBook that I won in a contest a year ago that I use for everything besides gaming/movies etc because of how hot it gets. So I would rather not have another laptop. I think I'm going to do some research and take on the project of building my own computer. Could be fun I guess lol.
Any useful links or ideas you guys could share?

You have access to some of the most knowledgable home computer builders right here in these forums. If you have questions, just ask away.

Well...where do I start? What are all the different pieces I'm going to need? Is Newegg the best place to shop?

I only use NewEgg. On rare occasions I'll use another vendor for memory though - depends on the deals. What's your budget?

You should probably start a new thread with this topic
Start with
Budget
foot print constraints (if any)
what will it be used for
Basics
Case (Micro, ATX, Mini all depend on footprint coonstraints) most cases come with a basic powersupply
powersupply (may need to be changed depending one the usage)
Motherboard
Harddrive
video card
memory
CPU
upgraded CPU heatsink/fan(optional)
I pretty much stick with newegg unless I know there is a GOOD deal on something somewhere else. Tigerdirect, NCIX are others you can check out.
