Probably another case of mass-posting on all major shopping forum and then he lost track of which forum he had posted..

The $500 range as people said can be tough to build your own and actually save a ton of money. Going prebuilt in the Outlet of someone like Dell or Lenovo and a coupon is really your best bang for...

I got a few free after rebate mice and 2 keyboards, but the monitor really hurts the budget.

It's all good lol. Yeah I guess I should have just chosen 64 bit now that I think about it since they are the same price. I guess I was just looking too closely at the $550 budget (even though I...

I wasn't trying to bash your selection but rather point out ways to get the most out of his limited budget :P
