Since you guys are going to criticize... let me tell you something.

1). the only place I have to put a pc is in a .. well.. it's a closet. The PC needs to share room with a printer and scanner and a ton of books and a file cabinet. I don't have a lot of room. That is why I went with the flat screen monitor. I need it to go further into the corner to give me a little more room. (Which is why I also opted for the wireless keyboard and mouse).

2). I need the dvd-rw. While most of you "really nice people" are hardware gurus. I build custom applications. The dvd-rw will allow me to save my larger custom applications onto a dvd without taking up disk space on my drive. (Not that I have to worry about that anymore, but then again... when I bought my current pc I didn't think I'd fill up my 3g drive either!)

3). I love music. I sing and play. Having the subwoofer is an added extra. I have an electric piano I can plug right in. God, my neighbors are going to hate me. I just love it!

The extra g for me is not going to make much of a difference. I weighed all this before I made my decision. I checked on what the "latest" technology is today, did my pricing and then prioritized my needs. And asked you guys a bunch of stupid questions.

For you all it may not be a good system, but for me ... It is AWESOME.
