lol...Nice! my first house cost less than this. Unless he's running 64 bit Windows then 8 gigs RAM is overkill... 32 bit Windows can't see more than 3.5 GB (approx.). ooops ... I'm guesing means that its 64 bit Windows 7..since the 8 GB looks like one stick he can add a second one later.

Nice.  I can't decide if I should get a laptop or desktop for my next comp.  I could get more mileage out of a laptop, plus I could then fly to all the LAN parties instead of driving through Pennsylvania.
