You forgot a couple things.

Windows vista ultimate.

200 dollars

TV tuner/Media center stuff
100 dollars

And these are most likely blueray writer considering the system and its slot loading. There also two of them. One of them could be a reader. Slot loading is considerably more expensive.

So 450 dollars more.

Useless but nice ipod dock.

40 dollars.

This things graphic water system is more likely than 200 dollars because this thing require 3 full cover graphic coolers. Thats easily 300+ there.
