You couldn’t get a good gaming PC for that price. Just the price of a good video card will set you pack $300. My guess it will actually be cheaper when it comes to market.

Problem is it doesn’t have a good 3d card, it’s got a Geforce 4 MX which is basically a clocked up GeForce2, you can buy those cards for $50 or less at Wal-Marts everywhere, a 2000+ Athlon chip runs well under $100, a 120GB harddrive can be had for around $100, toss in a cheap mobo with onboard 5.1 sound or even a nice nforce2 board with a Soundstorm chip and you can still toss together a much nicer PC for around the same price complete with a shiney new Radeon 9600 ($95 at newegg.com)
