At first glance this seems like a great deal, which it is. However if you try and get mid-level features it costs a hair over $1,000 including monitor without shipping/taxes

peeps - The Dell Dimension 4100 is one awesome machine. I only wish I had waited a month and ordered during the MSN Passport 20% off days. My same 4100 which cost $2,000 with 19" P991 FD Trinitron monitor back in mid October would have probably cost around $1,500 during mid November. Argh!
