640 shipped, I think, is a very nice deal. But theres something inside my head telling me to cancel this order. Its hard to explain, but theres a feeling you get when you build your own computer piece by piece. And by doing this, it feels sort of cheap. Another reason would be teh video card it comes with, the geforce 2mx might be able to hang because of the processor but a year later im pretty sure would not. I already have an ati radeon Le sitting around which is similar to the geforce 2 mx in benchmarks. What do you guys think?
