Should I get this barebone kit?

[ScreamingBroccoli]

Hey guys,

Lately I've been looking around for a cheap barebone kit so I could have a decent back up computer and an extra when more than one people want to use it, and I could set up a network (takin cisco classes at school next year =D ) Is this a decent one that I can just pop a hard drive in and make it roll? If not why? and what would be a better choice in the same price range. I do perfer AMDs because they are cheaper and I like them. My current system is an HP w/ a 3200+ amd xp. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks

PS, I know pretty much about the insides of computers, I've taken em apart and put them together but have never built one from scratch, so don't give me too much of a hard time

I really dont know if it will work but this is cheap as hell,

i mean for 139.99 you cant beat that.
im thinking about getting one also.(barebone kit) just for surfing the net and file-sharing.
