    No. The case is way too small, there's no room for expansions. It has a 160W power supply which will make it work double time. You would have to upgrade the video card to an actual video card instead of integrated graphics. And with the case being as small as it is it isn't likely that you will find one that will fit. Go with a mid-tower ATX case at least. For that price you could build a decent computer yourself and have a whole lot more into it.

    yeah its not bad but the thing is when you buy a prebuilt system you get some things you don't need that you're paying for. I build custom computers my self and ship them out to people. For the same price as the computers shown I can build a nicer system. And I still install XP which many of my customers like over Vista.

  • 6150se is ghastly tripe, and will need an immediate upgrade even for CS:S. But, since it's a slimline, expect to find a 200 watt power supply and half-height slots. Instead, please go and buy a PC with a standard ATX case! You'll have far better expansion potential if you do. Seriously. If you were to ever pick up gaming, the 9600GT would be your best pick, and only one company makes it in half-height form.

    Upgrade to a better graphic card, if your in a budget then get a 9800 GT for $100 in many stores.

    Hi. Good for all you mentioned but make sure you have the best graphics card you can afford. Makes a world of difference.
