- 15 inch LCD emachine monitor (put face 1 inch see tiny lines across screen)
- mouse+keyboard
- basic 2 piece speaker
- windows xp home

for 480.00 usd grand total. good or bad deal? (for a pre-build)

Looks like a pretty bad deal to me considering the crap quality of the Emachines. I bought a Dell E510 in November 2006 with a 7600GT, 1 GB of ram, and 250Gigs for about the same amount of money.
