This computer doesn't come with Windows, but since I want to use Linux (Ubuntu) anyway I don't mind.

Is this self-built? Geforce6100 means integrated graphics, so no new-ish gaming 'til upgrade. Given that you don't want to use Windows, I take it that it isn't meant for gaming anyway. If this isn't self-built, except for (maybe) the video card (or lack thereof) the price of that rig sounds about right to me, though.. no idea for how much they usually sell PC stuff in Sweden, though. :)

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
2048MB RAM
250GB HDD
DVDRW
Radeon X1950GT
Case
400W PSU

That's what I found for an equal price in a German online shop, for example.

It's a complete setup from the company. I'm not interested in a gaming PC, but want one for daily tasks and the occasional hobby programming project. ;)
I think I'll go ahead and order it then...
