Lil k - If he goes to the Dell Refurb site you can get the exact same machine as what you listed here for $714.00 for the PC + 358.00 for the Flat Panel monitor = $1072.00 Total.

That's everything you listed above with the exception of the warranty. Their basic warrenty ois 1 year. It'd be another $50 or so to extend that to match the warranty to the same as you listed.

Are we still arguing about Macs vs. PCs, or are we going to just pick safecracker's spelling apart? Either is good with me.
