doesn't sound all too bad, on this forum a lot of people build their own, but for a HP setup, this should be a decent price. The only two things I would think about are #1 a 15 inch monitor is not very big at all and #2 you might be better off with a regular printer than a photo one, it's cheaper and easier to print out digitals at your local drugstore and the quality is better
