Computer Question

[alonewiththemoon]

Is this HP desktop a good deal for $599?  It's something I could get through my workplace, quantities are limited so fast answers would be good.  Bear in mind that my current system is about seven years old, so it wouldn't take much to be a distinct improvement.  I know the hard drive is not super huge, but that's what my current one is and there's still loads of room on it.  17" LCD monitor would add $199 to the price.
