... of this

And I'm just looking for basic use (i.e., internet, etc.).

Honest opinions please.

 

I think you can get a much better system for less.

Might keep an eye on slickdeals.net

Dimension E521 Athlon 64 X2 4000+, 2GB DDR2, 80GB HDD, DVDRW, Windows XP Home $399

Dell Dimension C521, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+, 1GB RAM, 160GB HD, 16X DVD-ROM + 20" WideScreen LCD Monitor $479. Or + 22" Monitor $519

 

Not real bad for the price, but if all you are going to use it for is the internet, you could get something cheaper.
If you are going to get into gaming or video, this system is lacking in a couple of areas. Those are memory, power supply, and a dedicated video card.

 

WAY too much.


get this one

i just got it.

and if your using it for internet, MORE than enough.
im using it for gaming and graphics work and its still more than enough for that.

 

That's an apples to oranges comparison. A full system compared to a bare bones with no processor, no hard drive, no dvd burner, no operating system, and no memory.

 

Yep, missed that, but it still has everything thing else, including speakers.
