| Re: Good Buy? well the price is resonable but all the parts are junk to tell you the truth. if you give us a budget will give you the best build you can get for the price.

| Re: Good Buy? give us a budget  we'll help you build one for FREE. maybe you can owe us a beer sometime. If you build yourself.. your gonna have a more powerful computer for the price.. and it aint that hard to do.
