You can build a better one cheaper through newegg.com.

You can build that machine with the upgrades that u want for about 100$ cheaper and use the savings for software( which the ebay machine doesnt have)

also 18$ to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2 is a waste of money imo.( you wont notice the difference)

65$ to upgrade to 2 gigs( u can buy 2 gigs of ddr2-800 for less than $90)( ebay is ddr2-533)

75$ to upgrade to 500gb hd( you can buy a 500g drive for $99)

IMO this probably wouldnt be a bad deal if the upgrades were not so high and it came with software. For the money you would spend (upgrades and shipping included) you could build a better machine with software for less $$$.

just my .02c
