ok, i found some store near me that has this comp, seems pretty nice and all, but i haven't been into the store to check it out, so idon't know the details...if/when i go there, ill check it out
this comp will be used mainly for gaming, and maybe some photoshop stuff
What i do know:
Athlon 2600+ 333FSB (will get them to let me check)
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe
Ti4200, 4x version
2x256mb Samsung PC2700 (will check this too, what are the timings, or how can i tell if its 2700?)
60gb HD, i think its Seagate or WD
48x CDRW
Floppy, keyboard, mouse, OS

What i don't know
Power supply (what should it be for that config?)
fans/noise level
case type

so is this a good comp for some medium gaming (so it doesn't get old in a really short span of time) for ~1100?
thanks

It looks like they've made an attempt to use some good components. Remember to watch out for a lot of the power supplies out there. The casing might say 400 watts, but don't let that fool you. One thing that you might want to be most concerned with is the combined output for the +3.3V & +5V lines. Typically, most power supplies will tell you the reading for this. For the configuration you are looking at, this reading should be in the 250W range. Regarding the fan noise level, you're basically putting all faith in their hands. They're probably using a cooling fan on the CPU that creates about 35 - 40 dBA of noise. If there are case fans installed, they are probably in the range of 40 dBA (each.) If noise is a concern of yours, you could always go for some after-market fans once you've gotten your PC home. You can get case fans that only produce 20 dBA of noise (each) and CPU cooling fans that will produce less than 30 dBA of noise for your CPU.

The price isn't bad for what you're getting. Of course, there's always someone out there that will say it's too much. But, I'm also assuming that they're throwing in a licensed copy of Windows XP also.
