Wtf! 1500$! Thats pretty steep for those specs. I would buy a kit or self build mate!. Save at least 200-300$ on it then. You can spend that for more upgrades! But that system is very good for games! Not the price

if your talking to me, you are so wrong in many ways. As a loooong time computer enthusiast, i can assure you, i did not get ripped. Besides having my dvd+-rw, cd+-rw, floppy,and other perps, this computer outdoes yours in so many ways. first off, you (im assuming) have a standard 32bit processor. not bad, standard. however, i chose the recent 64bits, adding a crazy amount of different architecture. This different architecture is not only faster, but more efficent. Im curious though, how you managed to get a 120MB graphics card, because, they well, dont exist. The 9800PRO 256MB/256bit i have is self modded to XT speeds, with the stock cooler removed. and besides, a decent athlon hides what you really have, there is no way to really compare what you have to mine without giving the version. Im sure though that its less than average. Please post real specs, then we shall talk.

ps, it can pull a SETI workunit in 2 hr 57 min 46.4 sec
