Default Computer...Good Deal?

What do you guys think?

Is this a good deal? Includes a 19" Flat panel as well!!!

I could run dual monitors, and I would have my old HDD's that I could external.

thats actually not that bad

:edit:

rememebr that those low end boards they use have near zero upgrade potential... theres probably only one or two PCI slots, and i'd be amazed if there was even an AGP or PCI-E slot... if there was it'd probably just be a PCI-E 1x

Basically I am asking because my desktop is pretty much fucked.

I reformatted and it is slower than piss...getting EXTREME lag, wireless internet is not working that well, a HDD isn't being read.

I think my Mobo/processors are frying to death.

I use it mainly for word, TV, anime, etc...

Sometimes I play games, but I have a 128 ATI card that I can swap in as well as my wireless PCI card.

they are low profile slots.... so you can probably forget about swapping in what you have now.
