Main parts are:

GForce 6800 with TV out
300Gig SATA HD
Dual Layer DVD+/-RW

You dont need to spend that much to get
a really fast system.

I was just gonna say. Price those parts individually and see what you come up with. But others have already beaten me to the point.

Yea the prices some of these people charge for their systems kinda makes you wonder why you dont start a buisness for yourself building machines.

And yes you can for $500 build a system from scratch that will run AH.

Wont be high end and you wont be able to get ALL the bells and whistles. But it can be done.

when i think about 500 is not the correct sum. im always thinking that 1$ = 10NOK when it is 6NOK or something for a $

Correct sum for my spending is around 800$

It's definitely the floppy drive that's driving the price up ;)
