Yes, ABS is a solid compnay. Got a comp from them like 6-7 years ago and works perfectly fine still. Good prices too.

I like the specs and it seems to fit the outline for what you want to use it for I say go for it if you like the brand

Picking a computer out 9 mounths before you buy it is a bad idear. In 9 mounths what will be good will be completly different. technology changes at least every 6 mounths.
