How can anyone "RED" this? $199 won't even buy you the parts let alone the OS.

Great deal. You can't beat that price. Great starter system. Also good for students who need something for doing reports and stuff.

although not my cup of tea, it's a VERY good deal for people who wants a simple web surfing box...

Looks like a good deal. Actually how about the next model that is there in that page...

Has (1) Dual Core vs Celeron (2) 1GB RAM vs 512 (3)DVD Recorder vs DVD for $80 more... ($279 vs $199).

Not as is, would need to add Wifi to it, unless your're hooking up a cable modem.

If it was a laptop I'd be all over it

No monitor, plus a LCD monitor, it will be near $400 after tax.

For such a system, I can not believe anybody think this as a deal.
Maybe you guys are using time machine from 2005.

Since when does a computer need wifi to be on the internet, and why in the world would you want a laptop without wifi?

How's this system compares to the WalMart special hardware wise? The one that they sell for $199? I think this is a good deal, given that the S/W itself is about $100. For those who think that this is not a good deal, please provide a better deal rather than just thread crap! I am in the market to buy a new entry system for my grandma who don't need anything fancy. Any suggestion is welcome.

That sounds like a much better deal. I would rather pay a little more and get double the power + a DVD writer. How can a PC not come with a DVD writer these days. They cost $23 retail, the OEM cost must be much less!

Does anyone know how many expansion slots the case has? Does the mobo have a PCI-E x16 slot for an upgrade graphics card?

Does anyone know how much shipping costs?

Edit: You can upgrade from an 80gb HD to a 250gb HD for $35, and there's a FAR Canon Pixma printer for $50 too.

Same here. Thinking this might fit the bill for my grandfather (with a small memory upgrade)

There are more Lenovo bargains here:

Lenovo Outlet

I bought an M55 desktop last year for $250 and it has been a reliable machine. I did add some more memory.

I would say, these systems are much better than this Celeron one, and price is not bad also.
