I personally think that of those the router is the biggest downfall. And for a LCD panel that is the cheapest you will find, if you wanted quality for an LCD the Sony LCDS are very well made I have an HS78 on one of my PC's and I also have heard rave reviews conceirng the, believe it or not, Dell 21 Inch LCDs. If you want a router though I would go more mainstream with something that is going to be well made like a linksys or a d-link. A d-link like this one http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=618593&Sku=D700-2059&CatId=198 should be a better value (its only 20 bucks) and give you the same if not better performance. It is recertified though which means it is refurbished but It still should be a better bang for your buck. For a PC under 1k I dont have anything to say. I don't think you want to but it is much better bang for your buck for a low end system if you build your own. For a high end system where parts are a lot more you will need the tech support and sometimes for the high end systems you cant get the parts unless you get the OEM ones without warranty. I say you check out an ABS which haven't gotten horrible reviews but the biggest thing I have a problem with is the router. So get the D-Link if you dont mind not having the print server.
