Cast Your Vote on the Best System Config Summer 2011
Hit the polls to select the best config champion!
Tom's Hardware readers know that we quite often specially select computer components to put together the best rig possible. Those efforts are typically found in our System Builder Marathon series, which pits three of our writers against each other as they seek the best value at any given price point.
Not only do our system building guides provide guidance to those looking to make their own computers, but also they're teaching tools and case studies for those who are looking to customize their own builds to their individual needs and budget.
Of course, you guys have your own ideas of what you'd do in the shoes of Thomas, Don, or Paul, so we want to give you the opportunity to share the spotlight. Over the past month or so, we've collected popular builds from our Systems Forum, posted by our fabulous community. Our editors picked their three favorites in each category, and now you get to choose the setup you'd recommend to friends and family in each category.

$1k for a "budget" PC with no OS? That seems a little generous...
