Quite a bit lower-end than I'd go, but probably good for family members who only do basic web browsing, email, etc.
Throw in a passively-cooled graphics card (to save on heat, since this case only has one 80mm and one 120mm fan), and you could probably decode 1080p on the fly reliably. Panasonic 50ST30, Avatar 3D Set, $150 GC
from $1609 down to $871 delivered. (2 sets) Logitech MK260 Wireless Desktop - $18 FSSS 4x Sony DVD+/-RW LiteScribe AD-7261S-0B, 2x LG DVD+/-RW GH22NS50 - $115 shipped |

Nice find. This would work as an entry level gamer and easily burn & rip video.
Here is a youtube of someone playing Cyrus with this onboard video - http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desk...I0r4&gl=US I bet it would rip & burn bluray fine with an added panasonic bdr-206 & verbatim media. Nice! Last edited by dgt02; 04-07-2012 at 08:03 PM.. Reason: researched video capability |

But a passive 6450 would go good with it. The hard drive is the let down. I wouldn't use it for storage sitting on shelf. |

Always an AMD bundle never an i5 or heaven forbid i7.

the on board on 880g chipsets are sufficient for 1080p playback. This isn't a board that I would expect to break overclock world records with, but that chip should do 4.5ghz np.

anyways, I'm sure with time and slickdeals I could put together a much better rig, but for only one rebate this isn't a bad price

I'd say its overkill for the family computer. A dual core 3.0GHz AMD cpu is more then enough for that. I agree I wouldn't use that hard drive either. 7200.11 seagates have way to high of a failure rate and doa. You also won't need sata cables as the motherboard should come with 2.
Lenovo outlet prices went way up or I'd link "this" unit with only a dual core for this price including OS, card reader and more ram, but instead this will have to do: http://outlet.lenovo.com/desktops...00080.html There is your sandybridge i3, 8GB, 1TB, Burner, Windows 7 HP, 1 year warranty. $420. The downside of the lenovo unit is the PSU. 700 Total SSD's handled between two jobs. Plextor M3s, M5s, Crucial M4s, Intel 320s, and Samsung 470/830s are reliable. 2 M4 failure among ~200 of them. Sandforce Sata II controlled drives, 6 RMAs among ~175 units. There, now you know why I post like I do, professional, personal experience.
If you are going to ask "what deal was that?" or" where can I find out about deal so and so?" use the search feature on SD or Google first. |

I have a two years old core i3 (1st gen) machine. Is this better than a two years old i3 CPU. i3 is a quad core, at least I see four cores in the task manager's performance tab.

 What you're seeing is hyperthreading; a dual core with 2 threads per core. AKA 2 additional "virtual CPUs", according to Microsoft [microsoft.com]. |

But that's cool, some people just have to try to TC on anything.
