    I tweaked it a little bit to make it more robust and to keep the cost down where the difference was not very relevant for the application. I think it came out to about $10 more. I can post it tomorrow if necessary.

    Also the *exact* system is $200 cheaper if you put it together yourself from Newegg parts neglecting the case and peripherals, with zero shopping around or substitution. Count it closer to $100 after you get those, but potentially less if you jiggle the parts list. Wait, I lie - I substituted good memory and a solid PSU for the "unknown origin" parts iBuyPower wanted to sell you. So for $100 saved and the cost of some time on the weekend putting it together, you get a more reliable system. If I missed anything significant let me know, but this should be everything minus the bits I mentioned (case + keyboard + mouse + throwaway-grade speakers).

    Actually for that $100-200, you could get some pretty nice speakers to go with it. Not that WoW has that wonderful of a soundtrack, but there's always foobar2k in the background or movies on the other monitor.
