Need opinions

Thread Starter 
I was trying to justify buying a laptop for university, but just couldn't bring myself to purchase one. It just didn't make sense paying more for less. The mobility factor would be convenient yes, but it isn't essential to me. So, now I'm getting a desktop

Here is one I am looking at and was wondering what you guys think. I know a lot of you would advise me to build it myself, but I can't because I suck Anyways, here are the specs.

AMD A64 3200( 939 )
Asus A8N-SLI Mainboard
OCZ 1G Dual Channel Premier
MSI NX6600GT 128E 128M ( PCI-E 16X )
200G SATA Hard Drive
1.44M Floppy Drive
Tsunami Case( w/450W 3-fan power )
LG 4163 16x DVD Burner
16X LG DVD ROM
On board Sound / Lan / USB
Altec Lansing Subwoofer Speaker
Multimedia Keyboard & Optical Mouse

Price: $1135 CDN before taxes, no O/S or software.
For an A64 3500( 939 ) it would be $1225 (worth it?)


So do those specs seem alright for the price? Any opinions/comments/things I should find out more information about?

Thanks!

Depends on where you're buying it from, and you can go to www.newegg.com and add similar things to ur cart and see how much it'd be. But that price is decent. Also, what are you going to use the comp for? If you won't be upgrading it in the future than go w/ the 3500, if you will than stick w/ the 3200.

honestly, what you will be doing that really needs a 3500 instead of a 3200 ?? will you encode things that much?

Just kidding, it's because I don't see any reason for common people like us to pay $90 more... i know the price difference is not that much, but anyway, it's $90. get something else for you and tell me later if you felt the need for a 3500...

btw, very good system... congrats. If you really won't need mobility, don't need a laptop. Now that is a wise choice.
