The frick are you talking about?

You can always build a better quality machine, but in this case, a better quality (read: higher quality parts) build would likely cost more. It's hard to beat the off-the-shelf prices for basic home PCs at budgets below $500, as long as you shop properly. I could probably beat or match something like that by using some questionable OEM parts, but at that point it's not worth the hassle.

EDIT: Although, that Dell optiplex may not be the best you can do for that price either... let me look around.
