Default Time for a New Computer

alright so its time i get a new computer, and i found this site www.cyberpowersystem.com and it has unbelievable prices, there so unbelieveable i almost have to think theres some type of catch. So i was curious if anyone has ever ordered from there b4, or heard anything about them, or can find anything wrong with what there selling. They do appear to have garnered quite a few awards, so that does lead me to belive that they are an honest vendor, but any input would be appreciated.

also im going with these specs:
AMD ATHLON64 X2 4400 CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology
(Sckt939)EVGA nForce4 SLI Chipset SATA Raid Dual PCI-E Mainboard w/GbLAN,USB2.0,&7.1Audio
1024 MB (512MBx2) PC3200 400MHz Dual Channel DDR MEMORY
Seagate 80GB 7200RPM Serial ATA 150 8MB Cache
ATI RADEON X800XL 256MB 16X PCI EXPRESS VIDEO CARD

it will have a 450 watt psu, and i was wondering if that will be enough,or if i should get more. Also any suggestions on any of the components ive selected?

maybe the picture on the front page that implies, asian girls will hug you if you get a superfast computer, is a little fishy.

ah ha hah ahahahaha.

Is it just me or do most of the cases on their home page look gay. The red P4 case looks a frickin kitchen appliance. The AMD 64 to the left of it looks like it is going to transform into an evil robot and own us all.
