I'll always prefer to build my own, and the video card on it definately needs to be switched out... but doesn't look like that bad of a deal. Also, it doesn't list an OS as coming with it. So you'll need your own copy of Windows whatever.

Ouch, that hurts. Just built up a low-end compy for myself. Wish I'd waited 1 more month.

Could always sell that one to someone who doesnt know any better and buy this one.

Just a thought

Sorry Rod Tiger Direct are one of the WORST companies you can use if you need to RMA anything, they really suck.

That seems like a good deal. You could take out that vid card and sell it when you put in a good one, and get even more money back. You'd probably want a better power supply if you wanted to use one of the latest video cards though.

Whats RMA?

RMA = Return Merchandise Authorization.

It's your friend. Lets you swap out bad hardware conveniently with most companies. Some are really good at it (NewEgg, Western Digital), and some have bad reputations for it (Tiger Direct).
