iBuyPower Bargain AMD System reviewed

iBuyPower Bargain AMD System

Well, it sure ain't something everyone will want sitting on their desk, but if you're on a budget and still want to fit in with the cool kids with their shiny boxes, PC Mag says the iBuyPower Bargain AMD System (yes, that's really the name) is a decent option. For around $600 you get an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor, integrated 64MB VIA S3 UniChrome Pro graphics, and a 17-inch LCD. They do complain about the rather meager 5,400-rpm, 40GB hard and standard DVD/CD-RW combo drive (shouldn't DVD writers be standard by now?), but iBuyPower lets you configure you own system so that can be easily rectified.
