    #1 Not really.. I got one, bought it last year in November 2009 I paid 175 for it. The case is really cheap, The front panel dvd cover broken arrived. I call NE they can only knock 10 dollars off or RMA. I took the ten bucks. that why it cost me only 175 or it would be 185.. I got the Gagabyte 785GMT witch is a better board then this on the same bundle. The power supply is so cheap that I would'nt even try to install with the Gagabyte board. The Althon II 240 is not bad at all, can over clock to 3.7ghz with stock cooling. The G-Skill Ram is good can over clock to 1066 easy.

    Now just to be fair, I like the case. Looks pretty good. beside the dvd tray that slide out that's broken, easy fix. Just remove it. everything looks nice.. would not paid more than 200 buck for it thou, since I seen everthing first hand..

    Actually it's a good deal, memory prices have gone up. Trouble with these is that Windows 7 OEM will cost another ~$90, which kills the deal unless you can stomach Ubuntu or already have a license or some other solution.
