So, in this first ever Teck Battle with a total of 7 rounds won. It seems the people think vBulletin is the master board.

My opinion, the board is excellent and great, the unattractiveness of it is everybody like me would say the charge fee for it. But then again, with great features, it deserved the pricing.

Next weeks Teck Battle is ..... Dell Dimension XPS VS. Alienware Area-51 PCs, surveyed to actual users and some PC experts. Check back next week.....
