$527 is the final price of our entry level system this week, not including any money that you'll spend on software (Windows XP Home or Professional, Office, etc.) or a keyboard and mouse.
This isn't going to come close to breaking any speed records, but entry level systems have started to perform better and better over the years and this great $527 system is the result of that progress. There are very few places where you can find a better system than this for the money.
Now, go build your system and let us know what you think in our comments section.
