Tons of other vendors on the Internet will sell you the same thing for $200-300 cheaper. Here's my favorite: www.mpi-pc.com Save even more money...get an Athlon instead.

That's amazing! Beats the crap out of our new Microns which had a 5% failure rate right out of the box. So I'll amend my last post to say, if you want hassle-free computing, an IBM is a good choice. However, I'm cheap and don't mind chasing down some PC bugs on my own.
