    There's no OS, so tack another $150 onto that. (USD) Plus, according to the stock repot thingy, it's not in stock anywhere... completely sold out.

    Hmm overpriced i reacon no OS (operating system)
    So ya about $150 or about £45 on to that. Its not that fast for the price its good but not great its 64bit not many games utilize the 64bit procerssors but they are starting to as i have found out.
    IF you want a real mega beef fast machine build one yourself you can build on twice as fast with alot bigger things in it for about $1000. go on pcmech they have a lot of specifications for fast rigs and how to build it.

    Its a pretty decent price as its pre-built but no OS means your gonna have to buy one and have the hassle of installing it,

    it's priced OK< I wouldn't get it though.

    I'd build something like this:

    x2 3800+
    1gb DDR400 ram
    2*80gig HDDs in RAID 0
    7800GT(unlock the pipelines)

    that should be about the same price if not slightly more

    You can download an OS. It's illegal... but hey, if your into limewire and that stuff its possible. You have to transfer it to the comp through another comp (like a laptop).

    That is a horrible price for that. Myth having 64 bit is a good thing, not a bad thing its better to have it for the future.

    xelink is right build the setup he gave you as it would cost the same and perform 50% better.
