For all you guys that have crappy CZ computers (looking at you PJ), this will play cz on any setting at more than full fps, should also play source at more than reasonable settings no problem. Has played COD4 at medium settings with no problems. It is not a oblivion/farcry powerhouse, but will get the job done for a great price. I built this computer, so I should know. Also it will come with XP pro (150 bucks), office 2003 pro (350 bucks), disk keeper pro, Nero ultimate edition, and any other goodies I have for free.
I would recommend throwing a 3rd drive in there for storage, and keeping crap like music and movies off the main C drives so that it stays fast, if someone throws in an extra 30-40 bucks or so I will dig up a 200gb or so drive, load it down with movies or music (we have 80+gb of each), and install it before it ships out.
