It's a decent setup I would say. Good results for someone on a budget. Better would be to improve memory (2 GB), motherboard (asus preferably a) and chip (for a 2.4GHz/1066 FSB E6600). Video card can also be updated a X1600 512MB (actually not too expensive). But for the price of this configuration is pretty decent, especially for a mini server.
