a second drive is necessary if you want to copy from one cd to another cd.otherwise you have to copy to your computer first then burn.if at all possible get a computer with an AGP slot for video as this will let you upgrade your video in the future.unless your pressed for space you don't need a flat panel monitor a standard monitor will give you a better picture for video games and save you some money for something else.

I wouldn't buy a Dell until Dell rethinks their customer service strategy as a whole...this has ranked as one of the top 5 worst customer experiences I have received in my life. I have been with out a computer for well over a week and you have not even offered anything to make up for my inconvenience. When I first called tech. I was refered to the website by your on-hold voice. I thought I had solved the problem, but then a few weeks later the whole system just stopped working. I called tech support again and spoke to a person this time who thought it was a windows problem. I got the disks and called back this time they thought the problem was the ram...they sent me the RAM and it arrived a day late because the tech. guy didn't know what day it was in America. That didn't work so you sent me a processor which arrived promptly...but still did not solve the problem. Then they said they would send a service person to replace the motherboard. He showed up with no parts. I called tech support and they said the parts should have shipped to him, then changed their story to it was delayed because I live in a remote location (how remote could it be when I have a UPS box outside my door?). I have asked for a brand new computer to be sent, but have been rebuffed every time. Whenever I ask for a supervisor I am told they are not available until I am persistent for 10 minutes, then they get the supervisor. At this point I am going out of my way to recommend my friends, coworkers, and anyone who will listen does NOT buy a Dell. I guess I should have known better than to purchase a product from a company whose spokespersons catch phrase is duuuuuuude. Dell has cost my company about 12 hours in my time, now you will costing us more money as we have had to delay a change to our new system thereby causing us to pay charges for an old contract which we were avoiding by purchasing these computers. Dude...I never should have bought a Dell.

Spend your money wisely and purchase a computer from a company that believes in customer service.

I just found out that they actually lied to me about shipping the part. They said the part would be here yesterday and my computer would be fixed and running...then when I called back (after the repair guy showed up with no parts) they said due to my remote location it was delayed...I just got the tracking number...only to find out it didn't ship until 4:00pm yesterday...right about the time I called them back to tell them there was no parts here.

If this is easy as Dell, I would hate to see what hard is like.

I see this has turned into the familiar anti-Dell rant, not addressing your concern. In answer to your question, while it does have integrated graphics,the new 2300 series has all you are looking for available, including the option of 2 media drives. It also has 6 usb 2.0 ports. The graphics shuld be just fine for your needs, as long as you get 512 meg of ram. The video does share this part with your system. It should fit in your price range.

DUUUUDE,

What you doooooing back here on the DellTalk, thought that they had banned all you Gateway people!!!

Gateway!? I actually don't like their computer...but that is just because I had one of their laptops for work and found them very uncomfortable...but I have been informed that after they replaced the motherboard and that didn't solve the problem...they will send me another computer...oh one catch...it won't be here for another 2 to 3 weeks....great job Dell!!!!

Now thats world class customer service!
