Do you think its worth 200

Hmm..... seems like a pretty good deal to me. I would recommend XP or adding more ram though, but I dunno... maybe it would be fine the way it is too. I hope the tuner is digital though.

That PC for your laptop is a good deal. Actually a really good deal since it has SLI'ed 9800GT's, just make sure your getting what the ad stated.

I would say get that then buy a new laptop or even a netbook. Laptops should really be for work anyways and maybe play some music and videos but that's about it. You should have a desktop for all your gaming/multimedia stuff.

Thats not worth it I think.

For starters, its a Mac. Second the hard drive is pretty damn small for todays standards.

1GB RAM + Vista = Big no no, whatever MS's requirements might say.

As far as bang for buck goes, there far inferior to PCs. Also, OS X might be prettier (in the general opinion, not mine), but there's a lot of programs don't run on Macs, which cancels out the benefit.
