This is the new all-in-one Intel dual-core E2180 19" LCD PC computer I built for the family. The shocker is that I did it for less than $363 in parts (not including keyboard and mouse). The 19" LCD was on sale for $140 and the dual-core Intel CPU/Motherboard/graphics was on sale at Fry's for an eye-popping $88 and I just couldn't resist the temptation to build a nice all-in-one for the kitchen/dining area. I got a 300 GB hard drive for $50 and 1 GB of RAM for $30 (with an additional $20 rebate) and I used a $50 energy efficient "80 plus" 220 watt 1U power supply. For the chassis, I used some scrap wood I had left over and spent 4 hours on a Sunday afternoon building this computer.

I didn't see the cost of an operating system...that screen looks to be running Windows?

Here in the Dominican Republic, the cost of the Windows operating system is 50% of the cost of any computer system.
