what do you think of this one, and the price? (remember, it's in canadian $$ so approx 12% more expensive than USD)

It's nice, and I like that it has a dedicated graphics card. It's $70 cheaper at Newegg.

looking for t2500 core duo and up
2gb of ram
widescreen
and some sort of midrange+ vid card (ati x1400, geforce 7400 and up, etc)

$2k US is pretty much about my limit
