That ain't a bad computer dude, just not great.
I got the 400 watt 4.1 Logitech speakers, a bit less then the Klipsch at $150.
All told, I spent $1300 on Philip
Athlon XP 1700+(1.47 OEM, overclocked to 1.53(1800+)
Soyo Dragon Plus mobo
256 DDR
DVD 16x
CD-R-Rw 16x10x40x
40gb 7200rpm HD
60gb 7200rpm HD
Logitech Z-560s 400watt 4.1 speakers
19in Trinitron flatscreen monitor
Smartcard reader

(Read the credit cards with a chip on them)
Fattie was $150 and I've had her for a little more then a year now.
Laptop (Dell Latitude CPi)
P-II 350
128 ram
6gb hd
15" lcd
CDrom
USB
56K fax modem (GSM and ISDN compliant)
10mpbs lan card
All in all a fair value.
Athlons arn't any more likely to break then P4's, if you try and force it, pins can bend/break on both. And $2.5K for a monitor...you're nuts.
