Stop spending your money on pickups, Albertaman.

I've got enough money into the 1 ton (  ) to build several powerhouse computers decked out with the best and most expensive components out there, lol
However, the roar of my big block is far more satisfying than having a computer that'll be outdated in two weeks anyways!
Doing some reading, and in a flyer there is a Horizon 4000D/2006 desktop with a 3.66 GHz Intel dual core processor on a genuine Intel motherboard of some sort, 2 GB of Kingston RAM, 500 GB hard disk, 19" LCD TFT SXGA monitor, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, with aftermarket audio and video equipment. All boxed together with XP Professional, MS-Office + powerpoint, and a printer. They claim that everything is quality brand name components -- All for just over 900 bucks!
I'm almost tempted to go ahead and pick up a rig like that. It has a stylish full size case that a guy can easily upgrade in the future, and that second LCD monitor would work real nice with my current one to run duals!
Does anyone here have any experience with Horizon computers from MDG?
I know I said I'd like to build my own, but I am not entirely sure I could build one with those kind of specs for that kind of price... Probally sell the software, printer etc on ebay to recoup some costs, wipe her clean, and start from scratch with a clean XP install.
