I don’t know how much they want for it, but as listed, it’s about $1100 worth of hardware and software.
Overall it’s pretty good specifications. But I didn’t see anything about the power supply. Hopefully it’s not one of those proprietary power supplies that Dell uses.
That is the only thing I see that is slightly questionable. (What power supply?!?) oh, just noticed the printer. OK, it’s about $1150 worth of hardware and software now.
Only other comment I’d make is, if you are a gamer, you want to increase the clock speed of the CPU a tad, look for 3GHz if possible. Other than that, it is an excellent multi-purpose system, on paper.

It’s not good for gaming, but the x4 620 is a great $100 AMD CPU that is pretty good at everything. There are better machines/components for gaming, but it should be a decent system. It seems overpriced though.

If you want a gaming machine, get a AMD DDR2 system from here and put a 9600GT or 9800GT Video card in it or better but a 4850 or 4870 512MB is the most you need. (start with the $500 system and get a new video card and a better CPU) - like the x2 550 or x3 720 (recommended)
