Obviously I'm going to reccomend building your own, but if your budget is ~$600 there isn't much to be gained from it. What would it be used for?

Although the case looks very good, and probs the most expensive part of the build I think they could have spent the money in other ways. The GPU is poor, and i think you could get a better processor for the money. How do you feel about building your own pc?

It would offer you alot more flexibility with your specs and you get to feel the satisfaction of building your own pc. :)

Yeah, it would allow you to get better parts for the same or less money. My PC cost about $450 to $500. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkykETgkoo&feature=plcp Watch videos like this to see how to build a PC.

Thanks again. Yes, I will probably put my own together. It should feel good to put one together. I am currently looking at so decent builds and even taking a page from the convenient signatures on here ;)

Yeah build yourself, it's just better that way. It's not hard.
