    I want a new system and thought this was a good choice.

    Any reviews, pros, cons, etc, would be appreciated

    Seems OK for the price although it is an ex-demo system without an OS. The 2900XT will be OK for gaming although even an hd4830 or 9800gt will be faster.

    TBH it does not seem very good value for money. You could build a much better system for that price.

    Re: Ive been looking at this...

    It's reasonably priced, certainly - trying to put together the same build with retail components you'd hit the same price point *before* including a graphics card. On the other hand, I think you could put together a similarly performing system for less money: the corsair PSU and Dominator RAM are particularly expensive variants that will not provide any huge benefit over cheaper alternatives.

    Re: Ive been looking at this...

    Did anyone notice it is B Grade? Ex display/ex review was two of the things it could have been.

    I'd personally build myself and choose exactly the components I wanted.
