Its called a DISCover (clever eh?) and it works like a console, only it plays PC games! It will automatically install and play the game!
An entry level system with the minimum reqs for most games will cost around 300$ and higher spec systems will cost more (duh)!

Here's a nice system!
Higher-End: Intel D875PBZ Motherboard, Pentium 4, 3.2 GHZ, 1 GB DDR PC3200, 52x24x52x16x CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive, Seagate Barracuda 120 GB HD, NVIDIA GeForce&153; FX 5900 Ultra 256MB 8x AGP w/DVI & S-Video, Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum- 6.1 w/Black Audigy 2 Drive.

they mark &#036;699 as the pricepoint for the high end system. i think
that is a dream. and then if you had a high end system, why would
you want it in a box that couldn&#39;t be upgraded?

OR I meant the little bitty computers that are called shuttles, maybe you would prefer form factor because I have heard them called that before as well.
