Seems a little pricey for something with onboard video. Small case. I also don't like that the motherboard, chipset, HD brand and type, and the optical drive name is not mentioned, nor is whether the 1394 version is a or b. I could build that system for much less from Tigerdirect or chiefvalue, and know I'm using good components.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

it has no videocard as it is built into the motherboard & using 128meg of the 2gig ram. is probably not good for high end gaming
