I am permanently skeptical of everything Best Buy. Not a single time in my life has Best Buy had the best price on any item. (With the exception of CD's, DVD's and Video games). So without looking up any of those computers, I can only assume they are crap. I know netgear router is crap and I know that I would never let geeksquad within 30yds of any of my possessions.

I'll report back once I look up the comps.

I'm not an expert on this sort of thing, but that Intel Graphics Media Accelerator sounds like the graphics card these things are running on, and it doesn't sound like a quality one.

Do you know anything about that? Because at the price I'm genuinely interested in that deal.

It isn't a "quality" card but generally speaking no onboard video card is going to be. You'd most likely want to expand to a $100 or so ATI, GeForce, etc videocard if you did go with that deal. But you're right, it isn't a stellar graphics processor.

If you aren't interested in playing pc games (at least not modern pc games) then you can get a good card for like $30-$50 dollars.

Yeah, my home pc pretty much has two purposes: media server and internet browsing. I stick to console gaming.
