I would go with the first system config because of a couple better quality components and it would be the same system I would suggest you buying if you asked me, but make sure that the hard drive is a 1200<b><font color=red>JB</b></font color=red> version and not the BB...I am pretty sure that the <b><font color=red>SE</b></font color=red> denotes that it is a JB (special edition) just make sure....this drive has an 8mb cache and is a 7200rpm drive.....also have him throw in a couple more case fans to fill up the case (it holds four)

I would suggest you assemble the same system at <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com" target="_new">http://www.newegg.com</A> yourself....and see what price you come out with...newegg will give you a good idea of how good of a deal you are getting because they are usually the cheapest around.....if you need help assembling the parts let me know and I can guide you through it.....building the system yourself can save you alot of money, assure you are getting what they say you are getting and you will learn alot in the process (building is easy it just takes the effort)
