it's alright but the processor kinda is low for me and the RAM, mine is a 2.8 Ghz HP Media PC with 512MB ram, 128MB radeon9200 AGP video card and 140 GB hard drive, we got it 2 months ago with a 19 incher LCD screen. as i meant in "we" as in family computer

Get a book (PC Hardware in a Nutshell, 3rd Ed. is excellent) on the topic and
learn what every component does. That way, you can purchase the individual
pieces that you need to make an affordable powerhouse computer.

i would advise against it. the motherboard is sub-par, the graphics card is a nub, the mouse is horse excrement. the processor is decent, the hd is ok, the cdrw is fine. you can get all of these parts , high end , good brand name stuff off newegg for the same price.

if i wasnt too tired right now i would do the comparison for you...but for fun you should look at newegg and individually find all the parts that match this barbone sys.

you could probably get an asus a7nx mobo with 512mb of good corsair ram, a very nice p4 cpu ...for under 500 bucks. easy. when i bought my sytem i got my lite-on cdrw drive for 34 dollars, burns at 52x rock:

search around , and save some money, build your own. i just got done building mine...its a rewarding experience cool:
