They are selling this rig at the SAMs Club near my house and I wanted to know what people much more knowledgable in the subject than myself thought about it.
It's built in video, run

You don't want this.
That was a big red flag to me
Dragon — Sat, 11/08/2008 - 12:13That was a big red flag to me as well G. But one thing I did notice going to the HP site was that it did have a PCI Express slot where I could install a seperate video card.
Right now I'm using an HP Pavillion zv6000 Notebook PC.
Anyway, see anything else I should look out for other than that G?
1mb L2 Cache D: Get a 3870

Get a 3870 for your gfx card their like >100$ now and they're well worth the price. Another thing is DDR2 Ram and PCI-E 1.0 slots are bad, but I see that you're on a budget. I wouldn't suggest Vista, unless you want Dx10 gaming, if your just going to use it for wow and web I'd run Ubuntu <_< cuz it's free.
Just my 2 cents
