Yes that does look good.

Well that depends on how much you're paying for it....

 

[bob]

That system sounds ok... It really depends on the price.
If you don't mind telling me that I can give you more
insight on it. By the way, wheres the moniter?

 

[Thomas]

How much? Without a harddrive or floppy there is no way

to even boot (turn it on) to check it. No harddrive,
means no system files installed, no OS (Operating System,
i.e. WindowsXP ($100), Maxtor harddrive (60gig - $200),no
floppy drive ($35). The Video card, CD-RW drive and RAM
are excellent. The LAN is useless unless you network.
Neon lights and fans(?) are useless frills.

I would estimate you could get a good-size hard drive (40 to 60 GHz or so)
for $150 and a floppy drive for $35. Don't worry about the overclocking
bit -- in general the only people who overclock are incurable gamers. The
neon lights, glass side and neon fans are just frills, but overall it sounds
like a pretty good price.

Where have you been buying computer stuff? Newegg has a WD 80GB Special Edition
(8MB cache) hard drive for $88.50 including shipping. The 120GB SE version is
only $110. Internal floppy drives are only $7 or $8 plus $5 shipping.

The MX series is the bottom-of-the-barrel of the GeForce 4 chips. Benchmarks
have shown that it performs roughly the same as a GeForce 2 Ti. I would
highly recommend that you go with the Ti series versus the MX series, if you
can afford to spend an extra hundred bucks or so.
