(BUILD-A-DAY DISCLAIMER: None of the Build-A-Day computers come with an operating system, as many people have copies of Windows around their home, or prefer to use a Free operating system such as Ubuntu or Debian. This is intentional. In addition, no computer builds will contain monitors, keyboard, or other peripherals unless otherwise specified.)

This is again quite an improvement over yesterdays model, it offers the following changes:

1. A faster processor - 2.4ghz dual core AMD vs 2.2ghz dual core AMD
2. Better ram - 2GB of Kingston ram, of a faster clock speed, than the no name PQI used yesterday.
3. Twice the hard drive space - a 160GB hard drive instead of an 80GB hard drive
4. A dedicated video card, a Radeon 2600pro with dedicated video ram - this is a huge improvement over onboard video.
5. A power supply that comes separately from the computer case - these are generally considered to be of higher quality
