Amazingly, prices of the various components have fallen
enough that the addition of a CD burner and a faster processor did not increase
the total system price of our value SOHO recommendation. Seven weeks since
our last value SOHO buyer's guide finds us more powerful and $1 richer.
Be sure to come back next week to see how our value gaming system has changed
in the past seven weeks.
