Good deal on PC for the money?

I need to buy a basic, decent desktop. Mainly for internet and M$ Office. And from what I have found this seems like good bang for the buck.

Do you all have any other suggestions on where I can get a better system for the same price or does this seem right for the price, around $150 - $160 including shipping.

I noticed that, as long as it works ok it will be fine. No OS is OK too.

Mainly I just want the best deal for the price. Of course if I could get comparable hardware in a better box for a few bucks more i may do that.

If you don't mind a bit of assembly, this is a good barebones nettop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119039

With 500GB HDD, DVD burner and 2GB RAM should be around $220.00 total provided you choose components on sale and/or with free shipping. Then you have a new PC with warranted components.
