$169.99 - $140 in rebates = $29.99

$119.99

the cheapest shipping i can use (UPS 2nd day) $89.48 :(

This computer is going to replace a 533MHz celeron that my sister uses but after looking at everything i deceided to go with this. I may just use this computer and give her mine.
So what does everyone think? Am I missing anything (ignore software :))? Should i not buy the cheapest thing i can find or should I expect this to fail in a year or two and just buy new better cheap parts.
notes:
I looked through all the rebates and they don't seem to bad, I just need to send everything in within 90 days.
Shipping is expensive because I live in hawaii
I have a spare video card
I could care less about cooling, noise and the look of the case
