[skrilla]

yes definatley.

 

[Mike_Wiseman]

Yea thats a good deal, is the video intergrated?

 

[commes]

yeah, that looks like an awesome deal

 

[Brian]

Only thing i wouldn't like about it is the intregrated graphics

 

[Veolus]

hmm.. I believe you can get cheaper but it's a good deal!

 

[ThreeD]

[aaronfalloon]

Naw I don't think it is, Intergrated graphics?

 

[AHA7]

I would buy it.

 

[axilant]

That can be gotten for about 25% cheaper.

True, look on eBay; it should be near $700-800 there, IMHO. Though a warranty might not be included .

this could be bought alot cheaper however the warranty may not be available with cheaper options. i have always built my computer from the individual components as i see this as the cheapest and most efficient way of doing it so i know what is in my computer and how well it should perform. integrated graphics are probably the downside to that system however other than that nice comp specs.

ps. intel processors outstrip any amd processor for multimedia and are almost on par gaming wise, and until 64 bit technology becomes mainstream i dont see this changing

 

[zaros64]

what are integrated graphics.. I am not really a gamer so yeah..

 

[user-7256]

If you're not a heavy gamer or graphics person, don't worry about integrated graphics It just means default graphics that aren't very good. If you just do domaining and email, programming, whatever, you don't need a great graphics card.

 

[matrics]

what are integrated graphics.. I am not really a gamer so yeah..

It basically means that there is no separate video card, the system uses one that's embedded into the mainboard and this kind of setup generally sucks bigtime.

 

[Robson]

Sounds like a good deal, about the same spec as my system.

[Mike_Wiseman]

I also build my own computers, infact im building one right now. Sofar i have a motherboard, hardrive, ram and in a few days il have my case. And then im saving up for a bit and buying a Nvidia Geforce 256 mb video card and maybe a intel p4 2.4 GHz processor, then i have to buy a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers and all that other stuf
