Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo often use proprietary parts so that counts them out. Alienware is Dell.

Ibuypower has a better business bureau rating of 1.43/5.

Cyberpower Pc has a better business bureau rating of 1.09/5.

MSI has a better business bureau rating of 1.15/5.

Asus has a better business bureau rating of 1.1/5.

The main complaints seem to be Skytech honouring it's warranty and no repairs/bad repair or no response to rma requests.

Both pcs are mostly the same. Mainboards might be different? Not sure about ssds and stuff. Might be different brands. Both ram speeds are 3200 but no timings or brands listed. Would need to run tests on any pc you buy.

Either way I have the Skytech Gaming - Blaze 3.0 Gaming Desktop PC on the way. I Like any computer hope I get a good one.
Like I said I can't thank the people that helped me on this journey and maybe it helped some others do an informed decision as what to look for.
I'll get back to all on the computer with a report on it good bad or just OK. It is going to be here about 3/2/23.
Much Thanks
Lee

At this time I'm running my lap top using a TV for a monitor.
Can use it on the new computer till my monitor gets here or wait for the monitor?
And run it off the graphics card?

How do you connect laptop to TV? HDMI cable?

The consumer graphics cards do have HDMI too. So yes, "off the card", most likely.

Most modern TVs will act exactly like a monitor when given a digital input. There may be some greater limitations in inputs accepted or display resolutions/form factors allowed though.
A dog has a master; a cat has domestic staff.

HDMI cable hookup. TV about 19in wide X 11 high.
It has better color than my laptop.
