This is a fairly good base system. Whilst primarily a 'work machine', you could possibly do some light gaming due to the onboard GeForce 6150 on the M2NPV-VM . It also features 1GB of RAM which is sufficient to run just about anything except for intense games xD. The case isn't too bad, its cheap but not sore on the eyes. You can have a look at it by clicking on the link.
With the recent AMD price drops, it has become worthwhile to include a dual-core CPU in this system.
This machine is a good value system, although some people may wish to drop down to a Sempron CPU and get a better power supply.

With a Core 2 Duo CPU and 2GB of RAM, this machine is a very quick workstation.
