Anyone think this is a good deal?

I actually consider this a fairly good deal. No one else?

it is an ok deal. last month you can get the sc420 with 2.8gh and 80gig hard and 256ddr2 for around 300.

pretty nice... the mod is easy to do to convert this puppy into a decent gaming rig.

how often do these deals occur?

Only so-so, particularly with all the recent deals on DDR2 DIMMs (1gb for <$100). At least this way you get ECC, if that matters to you.

That Pentium 520's getting a bit long in the tooth for gaming.

Better deal for a home network server would be the base celeron config, with +10 for a 80gb HD, and add the free second 80gb HD. You've then got a 160gb, quiet, stable fileserver with a 1 year warranty for $310
