    Just thought I would share this with everyone after reading it in PC Gamer. Here is the machine for $550 at circuit city..free shipping
    http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?masterid=19401426&search=eMachine+t6532
    Specs: AMD Athlong 64 3500+; 1GB Ram; NVidia Geforce 6100;200 gb hard drive; 16x DVD-RW; Windows XP Media Edition; 5 USB ports
    They ran F.E.A.R at 1024 X 768 with everything set to max but soft shadows and anti-aliasing was turned off. The benchmarks for the card it came with were only 4. They then replaced it with Geforce 6800GS and got a benchmark of 73. They recommended going with a 7600GT would be even better but they had none available at the time. This card would be a good buy http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=321063&prodlist=pricegrabber
    Total cost for your gaming pc $720. The shipping is free from both sites. Not bad seeing how I sold my Xbox 360 for $1100 on ebay. :)

    It wasnt 2nd hand. I bought it to sell on ebay :). I got it from Bj's Wholesale Club for $397. My intent was to sell it thinking I would get about $600 for it. But around X-mas people were going crazy and the average was $1,050 for the bundle pack I had. I might have got more. Someone bought it now in less than 24 hours. Paypal took like $35 from me to transfer the money lol.
