Processor is the same
monitor has 2 inches on the one i have so thats a plus.
The Ram is 3gigs less then what i got and is only 667 mine is 1066 which is like 2-4 times more expensive.
7200rpm hard drive... i got a raptor 160gb... probably like a 50-75 dollar difference there.
Has a non dual layer burner (although that isn't much of a price difference).
Integrated graphics. Card i got was 250 after rebate (8800gt 1gig ram with akimbo cooler)
Motherboard is probably a cheap one only allowing ddr 800 ram or so and probably won't allow for the upgrade down the road to the extreme series processors.

I think its a great deal don't get me wrong but i am looking for update my 4 year old P4 with a new gaming rig that allows for upgrading (i can pop a 9800 in it later or sli a 8800 and up the processor to extreme series and add a year or so life onto it when it starts getting a little behind the curve)

The only thing that deal makes me jelous about is that monitor costs like 300-350 bucks. I guess i could of bought something like that and cannibalized it but the processor i don't know about may not be a G0 6600 which wouldn't work for me because i am going to try and overclock this system and if its the older model 6600 it would suck for that.

Basically i am selling my own computer to myself =) you know how it is. Also in that prices i bought a lot nicer heat sync which was 50 bucks alone and a good power supply that supports multiple hard drives along side sli'd cards. All in all i think if i would of bought that i would have spent the same if not more making it what i wanted.
