Building your own rig would be obviously cheaper.

But the only difference I see between the two setups, is one uses a Socket-A Mobo, and AXP2200+, and the other uses a P4 mobo, with a 2.4ghz p4.

I'd say the P4 would be the better choice.

Interesting that the P4 system is cheaper. As far as performance goes, they'd be about the same I think. If the P4 is cheaper, maybe go for it. I'd get the AMD just because I like AMD chips.
