I don't need an entire system. So I can build a box for cheaper than this. Thanks anyway.

: If you did a lot of upgrades yourself you wouldn't be looking for an entire new box. My suggestion is to go to www.compusa.com and look in the clearance section at the refurbs. They still have the full manufacturer warranty and they are cheap. For example this is one of the boxes they have for $629
: HP Pavilion 7955 Minitower
: Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor, 1.5GHz, 256MB RAM, 40GB Hard Drive, 12X8X32 CD-RW and 16X DVD Drives, Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition, 1 Year Warranty Included
: You can't build a box that cheap and it really isn't worth getting a highly upgradable computer anymore because things change so fast you can't upgrade. Any box you buy still has some upgrade potential ie: video card, harddrive. Plus I used to repair the PC's at compusa and refurbs very seldom ever come back because any problem it might have had has already been fixed.
