I am still looking at that medion at Costco - doubt I could get all the components for that price - and a flat screen monitor. they lowered it 100 - it's now $1299.00 dvd burner - cd too floppy (even dell charges 20 bucks now to add a floppy drive!) 120 hard drive etc. People on here said it is a good computer - and has quality components. now - hubby is out of his generous - what do you want for your birthday mood!! LOL We'll see!!! Thanks!
