Just add a PCI-E graphics card and you got a great, low price system.

It's a lightscribe drive, might be worthwhile to some.

It's an A64 3800+, not an X2 3800+ (I've got a dualcore mind right now, so when I saw 3800+ I immediately thought dualcore...)

Still a pretty good deal, especially for those looking to start up an HTPC as it comes with Windows XP MCE. Just add a video card and TV Tuner(s) and you'd be good to go (a decent remote would be nice as well). You wouldn't even really need a monitor if you just hook it up to a TV and use it as an HTPC.
