PII 400 system $1299

I was at Computer City and found the following computer
and bought it because of the price. May take it back in
the next few days, depending. It doesn't have all the specific brand name components that I would like, but it just seemed to be a pretty good deal. Any opinions?

PII 400
Intel 'Seatle' BX board, onboard sound, 4 pci (unoccupied) 1 AGP
68 SDRAM (don't know the brand)
ATI graphics AGP: 8 SGRAM, 128 bit, 230 ramdac
56 kflex modem (I think its a motorola)
2x DVD ROM
8.4 gig Western Digital HD - they don't seem to get good reviews
Mouse/keyboard/Win 95
Mid Tower 200 watt power - I would like more power. Is this enough?
3 year Warrenty/part/labor - fixed at local CompUSA $149 extra

This computer was built by Intel for Computer City. Since CompUSA
is buying them out, they don't want this computer to take away
from customers buying name brand computers so they priced it to
sell. I bought the last one and decided to also purchase the warranty figuring if the hard drive goes bad in 3 years, I'll atleast
get my warranty out of a new one. I could just take the warranty
off after reading what has been said about not buying the extended.

Would anyone else have jumped on this deal? Anyone care to rate
the quality for the price? How good of deal is it?

Thanks,
S.W.
