i configured my pc/server(cuz i'll use it for both) for around USD$600.00 without taxes, it's amd, os:red hat, 512mb ram, 40gb HD(duh it's a server, not a downloading place), 17" monitor, etc... is this a good idea?

the website is http://www.ikonpc.com/ and their name is IkonTech

I configured my pc (2.6ghz, 256mb DDR, 180gb, CDRW and DVD, floppy, GeForce FX 5200 256mb, 500w, no monitor) for under $750, and I built it myself.

Build it yourself. You'll get better prices and learn on the way. If you don't care to do that, then I would go a deal such as that.

I'm interested in a new system also. I was strongly advised not to build my own, even though I know how, from a guy who works at a computer parts store (future shop to be exact). He told me there is no warranty so if anything goes wrong it's garbage.

Should i listen to his advice? I thought it was rather dumb because don't new processors and motherboards come with individual warranties also?

Man... you won't belive my server is an ancient Pentium 90 MHz, with 16 MB (4x4!) with one 1.2 gb drive and no VGA board, no monitor, no keyboard. Just an ISA NE2000 ethernet card. On the ground under my feets! lol... ah, and I got it for free...

Forte abraço,
Scorphus.
