Uhh comments are:

- Unbranded memory as far as I can tell... Wouldnt touch with a barge pole. Also is it 2x512MB or 1x1024MB? Go for the Double sticks for the Dual Channel goodness.

- Only one 80GB HDD? That aint a lot for most people, and neither of ** other drives match its size so either get a bigger one(160GB) or/and RAID 0 them up. (AGAIN unbranded, dito)

- PSU unbranded.. so dito again...
