  • (2.33GHz, 4MB Cache)
  • Windows vista home premium
  • 4GB memory
  • 1TB hard drive
  • 512MB ATI Radeon HD4350
  • Blu-Ray player and DVD Rewriter
  • 6x USB and 1x Firewire port

I wonder what power supply it comes with. You could always buy it and change the video card (it's quite terrible).

Btw the package as a whole is on the expensive side, building a new PC from scratch would be better.

I think you could build 4850 and Phenom II 955 3.2GHz PC with 4GB DDR3 RAM for around £450.
