Similar Setup

Above is a similar setup minus speakers for $492.00 shipped.

and less if u take the pain to build it !!!

 

[ChinamanatNCSU]

I'd say it's decent, but then again I am nowhere near an expert at comp prices
I'd also say build you could build your own rig for possibly cheaper and get exactly what you want
much more fun and gratifying too, but lot of hassle for newbs like me

I'll take three!

Damn prices have dropped. I was just offered a KR7A-Raid, AMD 1800 and a Thermalright sk6 for $210 and I thought that was a great deal. Double it and I could have a whole second computer

 

[lawaris]

he he he .........u could and a branded one that sucked !!!

 

[poopaskoopa]

Looks ok. If the gaming performance is a non-issue, I'd even drop the processor speed to squeeze in a CD-R drive for no charge(if there's such an option).

It's fine as long as you realize that everything is built in to the motherboard, and that it is Micro ATX, with only two PCI slots and two DIMM slots.
