Well, looking at the specs of the 'puter at the site
(http://www.isorm.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=197) and
pricing the parts (HD, DVD player /CD burner and keyb/mouse models not
being specified, so I selected something similar in mid price range),
not including the case/PSU and monitor, you can buy everything at
NewEgg.com for about $260.00 including shipping (and that's with 512MB RAM).
As far as the warranty goes, keep in mind that if anything goes wrong,
you have to take the whole "box" back to the shop and wait for the
repair/replacement.
I like to build my own from parts, because if something goes wrong, I
can send/take in only the defective part to get it fixed/replaced, and
usually, as probably most folks on this list, have another one laying
around to replace it with for time being. And putting a 'puter together
is not really that big of a task anymore. Plus you get the good feeling
of accomplishment (bragging rights come with that, too) when you "touch"
everything that's inside the box.
Anyway, that's just my 2 cents in.
