Well I work for a local computer shop here on the Island as teh sales manager. The computer you priced out is a great computer, you will be very happy with it. All top end parts. Asus makes teh best boards, seagate has 5yr warrenty, Kingston is the most stable Ram, so on and so on. Just be aware the atic is not a good place to buy from. They have been known to sell stuff that have been RMA'd and fixed as new. They have also been cought taking the old PII's and switching out 500Mhz and placing 350's in the little black cases. Cought this myself on mine and a friends CPU when we notice damage to the outer casing. so be careful.
P.S.
The XP 64 has some bugs last time I tried it. They did just release the OEM version which I haven't tried. The pre release copy I had from Microsoft was flakey. Most of the 64 bit side didn't work and I was stuck using the 32bit apps. Hopefully they fixed this.
