Decent system, quick question will a 250 gig harddrive be enough for your work load. Also agree with those specs, its a shame it will only be pushing a 19 inch monitor.

They prob store most files on a server.
 
yes we store most of our files on a server and back them up on external hd's...yes i know i told my boss to get bigger screens but we are gonna be running 2 19inche screens with the wonderful ebay dual screen setup lol
 
30inch ist the answer 8)
hey, can you show us pics of the machine? maybe from the inside? :cool:
 
I think the FX570 will be insufficient for heavy animation work. Something like a FX1700 or higher would be better. Same with the processor, I use a 2.83GHz E5440 and you can notice the difference between it and a 2-2.5GHz quad core during rendering. These options do add several hundred $ though. Can you post a pic of the mini-tower? I think it would the case from the T5400 but I'm not sure. Here is my full tower T7400:
