Works fine for word processing and the like, decent size. It's a good compy with the dual core. Don't expect to do anything graphics intensive though.

Monitor: Dell 1907FP UltraSharp LCD

I plan on upgrading soon to:
CPU: Same
MOBO: Same
RAM: Same
HDD: 2x Western Digital 74GB Raptors in RAID0 - I just need to to find a good hardware RAID card thats not insanely expensive. I want to use a hardware RAID card for better performance over a software RAID.
Video: Same
Optical: Same
PSU: PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 510W

Then eventually I will finish my watercooling setup and after that I will upgrade the CPU, MOBO, RAM, and eventually the video card.
