Configure this without the monitor to drop it to 239.99 Duo core 2.0 Ripped from Bens. Seems like a good deal. |

It's a fine price for a budget machine, but it's already last generation's processors. If you understand what you're getting yourself into, it's a deal. It would probably make a fine backup PC for the kids or something, but I'd want something more heavy duty as a primary machine. That being said... a deal is a deal, and this is probably a deal. |

So if my current PC is a several-years-old Dell P4 2.4GHz 640MB RAM w/ Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB AGP, would this deal be a good backup PC for me? |

Dude...I write software for a living and still use an 800Mhz W2K machine for developing. but, I do have 2GB of RAM in it. It's just the Dog "Vista" that makes people need these newer machines! Also, if you want to play any modern games a new, powerful, system is a must. Ez |

Heh, I'm still pimping an athlon XP in my desktop. /On the Dell site, the image says "for illustrative purposes only". So, err, what does the box actually look like? /laptop is a core 2 duo |

I'm with you ... I have an athlon 2600 desktop ($20 from Goodwill) that does fine with XP Pro ,, until 2 years ago I still had a 486/100 machine (PS2 MDL 70 with the "BERMUDA" motherboard) around to program IC's with as it had the absolute most stable power supply and I/O ports you could find. I don't do "trendy" or gamer systems ... Use what works. |

KEY POINT: The BIOS of this machine can be reloaded to enable RAID 0, 1 which makes it better than the Dell SC440 servers. |

Plenty of horsepower for a Home Media Server, but I need to mount five hard drives somehow. Doesn't look like this case is nearly large enough for that, or I would be all over this. |
