Make your own! Usualy 75% of the price of a ready made plus you can ensure you use only good quality components. OK - It has 1Gb or memory but is it Corsair or Geil? What cooling does it have. CPU only? Case? Intake and exhaust? Choose the motherboard for what type of CPU and memory you want. I want an AMD Athlon so that's what I am going for. DDR or DDR2 memory? PCI-E x16 slot(s) for best graphics. Want 8 channel sound? Get it! It realy is far easier than most people think. A good supplier will make sure you only buy compatible components if you tell them all the bits are for the same machine.

Then of course you have the satisfaction of building it yourself and you also know how to replace all teh components should anything go wrong - Not that it will of course.

Oh - and finaly - choose a flashy case. Preferrably with lots of glowing neon. Very important is that:-)
