The only thing I would change would be the hard drive . The samsung F3 1 gig is faster and sounds less like a tractor with a dodgy gear box

If you have a Micro Center nearby, you can get an i5 2500k for $150.

Not the case, unfortunately. I live in Florida. :(

But thank you for sharing, nonetheless.
