I should add that my main interests are not on the gaming side (ripping music and video editing).

500 tops. The ram is slow, the processors are slow, the video card sucks, the hard drive is average... I'm starting to talk myself down to 450 or even 400.

i would pass on this one, no dvd burner, and as FghtinIrshNvrDi said, slow memory and crappy video card. Decent hard drive but not enough space. Those Volcanoes should be variable speed, but they can run pretty loud.

Also, since you are interested in video editing, you will have to purchase additional hardware like another hard drive for more space and more memory would be recommended as well
 
well i just bought my friends comp for beleive it or not 150$.

it has a AMD XP2600+
160gig hd
DDr400 PC3200
Ati All in wonder 9000
