1. Except for Heat Spreaders on the Ram, which are very very controversial even in Modder circles.. If you are going to use this for PC Gaming or something else intensive (Photo Editing, Video Editing, ETC) it would be a good mid range Gamer. And the price is decent for the setup exspecially with two GigLan Ports, 19" LCD, two 200GB HDs and the Wireless card..Though I will warn you that Wireless is always slower then Wired. Over all a decent deal
2. Just letting you know we will do that exact configuration for $200 cheaper. Again carbonfrost does it cheaper. But with this the power supply is weak so we would upgrade it for free. Plus we would upgrade the speakers for free also. All included for 200 bucks cheaper. Also your ram will be upgraded to Corsair series for free also since thats what we use and is alot better than what you are thinking of getting. You are getting ripped off here in more than just price. While we beat it in price, our warranty and service is a lot better. The first year is what we call complete warranty, anything goes wrong with the computer we fix it. No labor or charge for parts, its all free. If you want this exact configuration let me know and I will give it to you for about $1450 plus shipping. Just email to support@carbonfrost.com with my message posted and how to contact you. Plus I may still be able to give you extra 5-10% off since I have been helping you for some time now so It would come to about $1350 or so but you would have to talk to sales since they will give you exact price. http://www.carbonfrost.com/ Carbonfrost Systems: Free Email Support To All
3. Looks OK and quite comparable to my favorite: http://66.225.202.210/guides/buyer/guide-200703.ars/3 The Hot Rod was configured in March. With the drop in processor and ddr2 prices, the March total price could now possibly include the OS and maybe even an upgrade to E6600.
