Tempting.
Anyone know if the vid card is agp or PCI-e?
Nvidia's site lists the vard in both formats.

650 are AGP only.. i have a bunch of these here... they're okay.. not bad.. not worse.. I think the 670 are pcie

Only $5 to upgrade from 40 GB HD to 80 GB; gotta like that.

You can get 160 GB ATA disks for $72.

Note that only one processor is included, you have to pay extra for the second one.

Example price:
- model 650
- two processors 2.4 GHz upgraded to 1 MB 3nd level cache
- two 160 GB ATA drives
- 1 GB RAM. This is ECC RAM and Dell gives it pretty cheap
- DVD drive

= $1105

Still not bad but this is still a 2.4 GHz computer with 533 MHz FSB, so no roadrunning in games.
