Whirlybird,
I have been trying to get a feel for what you want to do and what you want to spend.
I took that you want to play a flight sim, play DVDs and burn music.
The GeForceFX 5200 is a very weak Video Card. It is not something I would recommend. It will have a lot of trouble with the next Generation of Sims. (Since I figure you will be keeping this computer for a long time.)
If you are going to watch movies and listen to music, 16 Bit 3D Sound on-board (AC '97) is not going to give you much sound. (Also I do not know if the computer you listed comes with speakers.)
Also I did not see Keyboard Mouse or any kind of Warranty with the computer you listed.
I will check out their website and see what all they are offering with the computer.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. Sure looks like the Militant MACers have come out in this thread. (All that testosterone flying around this thread!)
