I'm not too sure about 'value' of that system. EDIT: Oops, looked at the price. ($549 isn't bad...but you still have no monitor, and have to buy a 3 year membership to MSN for the full rebate. Forget about it. The specifications aren't very impressive.... 1 pci slot -- doesn't leave room for advancement integraded sound -- ick 8mb AGP video available -- does that mean you pay extra? 150 watt power supply - need I say more? corel suite 7 -- that's an ancient version. All in all, it sounds like old stock being dumped. I'll compare prices tomorrow, but at first glance, I'm not impressed. Try and find another system for $1000 and compare the specs. BWDIK? Rich P.S. The link you provided doesn't work. (http://web3.ops.outpost.com/cgi-bin/bv.cgi)

Best Buys has a Monorail Pentium 450MHz/8.4G/64M/DVD for $799.00 in their stores if anyone is looking. The Monorails may not give one the greatest expansion but the price is right. I played with the new Anthon (SP) when I was over at Best Buy today. That sucker is pretty quick. I can't imagine all the patches one would need to get their programs running.
