Which for a fully working system that includes mouse, monitor, keyboard, OS and Office software.
I personally don't think that's a bad deal for some quality components, a RAID array for redundancy, a microATX formfactor. To be that would be better than getting an equivalently priced DELL system just because I know what's in the system. The RAM seems a little pricey, but the other Mushkin stuff I was looking at is out of stock. I won't be putting the system together for another couple weeks so it might come back and save about $30.
