"AMD Geode NX1750 AKA Hyper 3000 CPU" ? I've never even hear of that. Anyway, that would be an OK deal if it wasn't for the proc...only a 128k cache and a 266mhz FSB. I would just go mainstream and get a dell with a P4.

Great idea , but a little expensive if your just looking for a computer to use on a daily basis . Just go with penguinrusty advice , get a mainstream computer . HP's are also good , look into your local electronics store , sometimes they may have huge sales on comps for reasonable prices .

I've built real budget machines many times if your willing to gamble and buy used guts on ebay. I never got screwed.

Wow...2 gigs of ram, that's at least $200 right there (assuming it's DDR2) Somehow I doubt you built it for $400.
