    Aranha,

    That is a major ripoff. You could easily build that yourself for much less money $1380 to be exact without even shopping for the lowest prices. I build all my pc's. Here is an idea using the same parts (all from newegg.com unless noted) but if you searched pricewatch you could get even lower prices. (I buy a lot of stuff from newegg but have no affiliation with them).

    1.4 ghz amd cpu ($115 )
    Gigabyte 7-DXR motherboard ($135 )
    256 PC2100 DDR Ram ($42.00)
    40GB ATA100 Hard Drive(IBM $107)
    Teac 1.44 floppy ($10)
    Leadtek Geforce 3 ($329)
    Viewsonic GS790 19" monitor ($309 )
    Creative lab 52x ($28)
    Altec Lansing AVS500 speakers ($40 from mwave.com)
    Case with powersupply Enlight Medium ATX Tower Case Model EN-72370X3 ($50)
    Keyboard(microsoft $20)
    Intellimouse ($37)
    CPU Heatsink Cooler Master DP5-5G11A AMD Socket A Processor Fan with Heatsink Retail ($6)
    US Robotic 56K V.90 Data Fax Voice Modem ($57)
    win 98 ($95)

    Total $1380 vs $3450

    Just plug everything together and load 98 - two hours tops if your first time. Heck you can almost build three of these for their price.
