Just some prices off the top of my head...might be off a little here and there but you get the picture.
Server - Intel® Pentium® D Processor 820 at 2.8GHz/2X1MB Cache, 800MHz FSB - $220
Memory - 1G DDR2, 533MHz, 2X512MB Single Ranked DIMMs - $80
Keyboard USB Keyboard
Primary Hard Drive - 80GB, Serial ATA, 1 inch, 7.2K RPM, Hard Drive $60
2nd Hard Drive 80GB, Serial ATA, 1 inch, 7.2K RPM Hard Drive - $60
Mouse - USB 2-Button Mouse Wheel
CD/DVD Drive - 48X, Compact Disk Drive, Internal, Half Height, MG - $20
Then add the case its coming in is probably another $40 or so. They dont say what MOBO comes with it so its probably a lower end one which would sell for $50-60 bucks or so..depending on what it actually is of course. Same goes with the KB and mouse thats why i didnt put prices for that. I usually toss those items into the "might need an emergency part pile" lol
So basically the price is right about there if you were to build it yourself. Its a decent web brousing everyday use PC.

I was just posting retail prices if I were to peice it together. Its a good price for a decent everyday computer. Just dont go doing any gaming or 3d rendering

Why not?? I game on a slighyly faster processor with less ram and a 9700 pro. I havent meet a game that I cant play yet. Just curious on why it wouldnt be good.
Im not saying it would be the greatest, but it would be decent.

there are alot of misconceptions when it comes to the new dual core processors. In reality the only time it will be of use is when multi tasking. Like burning a CD and messing with Photoshop. decoding a DVD and playing a game..etc If your just using it for normal everyday use like brousing the net emails..etc then your still only using one core of the CPU at 2.8ghz. the other core will sit idle. And also for pentium their 2.8ghz is comparable to an AMD 1.8ghz cpu when it comes to performance.

If your buying this machine directly from dell then thats a good price. They have great customer service. which is worth alot if problems come up with the system.
You also have to take into consideration that it doesnt come with a operating system and if you were to do it legally and actually buy an OS that would cost you another 100 bucks or so. But most people have a "backup" copy of XP or something
I havent checked for pre-built systems in a while. Doing what I do its hard to compete with the big name brand companies when building full machines. Im more on the upgrade/repair side of the industry. Check around Dell, www.abs.com, www.cyberpowersystems.com but honestly for a pre-built dell will probably be your best bet. hell for a few more bucks you could probably get a dell system with a LCD and an OS. Might have to loose the Dual core CPU but that depends on what your going to do with the machine.
