Default Computer Peeps - Is this computer any good?

My brother is thinking of getting this computer for himself. Is this a good deal or should he keep looking around?

really they seem expensive? :dunno:

they seem to have a ton of software, 17inch lcd and, 1gig ram, 250gb hd, 16x dual layer dvd burner.

What else do you guys suggest for him (except building his own since neither him or I know how to do so).
