The first system is nice. The Intel 960 chip is a really nice chip.
The only thing, besides the hard drives at 5400 RPM, I would be leary of Tiger Direct. They have a reputation of bait and swap that doesn't seem to go away even with the lawsuits and hand slapping by the BBB and the Attorney General's office.
Having said that, check out the offerings of similar hardware at New Egg. www.newegg.com They have great customer service, excellent support, excellent shipping, and excellent prices. I've purchased 3 systems from them over the years with zero (0) problems. I ended up doing one return because I purchased 2 of something instead of only one, and the return was painless.

I gotta respectfully disagree and say it's the other way around; I've had nothing but exceptional service from Tigerdirect and nothing but problems with Newegg; everything I've bought from the Egg has been falsely advertised, defective or bottom-of-the barrel and didn't last long. Bought from them 5 times, and 5 times I've gotten defective product that didn't last long if it worked at all. That's a lot of strikes. It's like night and day with Newegg versus Tigerdirect, though I won't by HDDs from Tigerdirect either.
But I confess I just may have had bad luck with Newegg (and Asus) so I won't discourage one too hard from dealing with them.
