It would be easier to say if you listed the price. Not everyone has the Best Buy ad memorized.

VPR Matrix is Best Buy's homebrewn brand, I believe. My girlfriend has a desktop of theirs, and she hasn't had any problems at all with it.

I just bought a dell 4150SE for 1750 - 400 MIR, so it will come out to 1350. It has 512m RAM, 16M ATI video with tv out, and 24x combo drive. I'm not trying to brag or anything, just posting this so you can compare (it weighs about 5.7, I think). The dell was the best deal I could find.

This is not hot.
Maybe only warm because of the brand.
