pentium 4 630 ht 3 ghz
microsoft xp home
1 GB dual channel DDR2 SDRAM 400Mhz
128 mb pci express ati Radeon x300se
160 gb serial ATA hard drive 7200 rpm
48x cd-rw DVD combo drive

and a 17 in crt monitor.

yeah sounds good to me mate. Make sure you are certain though before buying a dell. I got a dell dimension 2400, saw an upgrade for flat monitor and twice as much RAM for the same price a few days before i arrived and they wouldn't cancel the order. Got it upgraded anyway. Be careful dell change the prices of the systems often.

whats wrong with dell?
ive never owned one before, but have become tired of HP. the price is what attracted me most. that system would be about $850

Dell uses cheap parts....they also dont use good brands.
