thought about it, but I don't care, our parents are paying for it and I'm putting it together. I told them I could get a decent system built for them for 300 and was willing to split the price and they said they'd just give me 300 to buy everything if I do all the work

it's pretty much a housewarming present to surprise them with, I took their POS system last week and told them I was going to fix it, they're moving into a new house on sat.

That is a very small hard drive. This is a bottom of the line system but take a look at this:

Pretty good price considering it includes all of that.
Edit: refer to what rick said above... I did not see it.
