...just click the buy/quote button at the bottom for the specs and price..it seems good for someone thats in the $500-600 range...

edit: oh..it is missing a monitor isnt it? hmm..yeah i suppose its not as good as the ibuypower.com athlon's for around the same price

Get the one from ibuypower, it's cheaper and the case looks better
Speaking of ibuypower, they have an Athlon 64-based system for pretty cheap... might as well get a 64-bit CPU if you can. http://www.ibuypower.com/ibp.net/store/configurator.aspx?mid=66

Ya, that's about right..comes out to $630 w/shipping..but the only problem I see with a lot of these PC's is that they lack a monitor...

Anyway, I suppose theyre pretty cheap..and I do have an extra, but I wanted it to match the PC and be a little high-tech..suppose I'd have to spend at least $100 for that.

Btw, how are these deals, comparatively? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/configdetails.asp?Base=32752 (this actually comes with a $99 monitor at around the mid $600's as well.)

And how about an ebay auction? They seem to really be a bargain. (specifically the buy now deals at the bottom of the auction page) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=52475&item=5103170142&&from=R4

Any advice appreciated.

Alright, I've done some research and searching around..I think I'd like to get a gaming PC (cuz I wanna play games but also use software like 3ds max, maya, etc.) and I just like how they look compared to the multimedia-based PC's of that price range. http://www.cyberpowersystem.com/highendsystem/sp3.asp?v=d This site seems to be ideal..anyone have any experience with them or just some advice by taking a glance? The prices seem to be in my $500-700 range and the only thing that's lacking is a monitor.
