Looking to upgrade my 4 year old computer and found this to be very appealling.
I am running CS4 Extendend as well as Lightroom for all my photo work.
What do you think of the spec's?
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

One seriously ugly case.

Get more memory.

I agree on both points.

I could live with the case, but I would max out the memory to 16GB right away.
I suspect they have "Total expansion slots" and "Available expansion slots" reversed in the specs.

Looks like a good start. I agree with the memory expansion to as much as you can. I expect that there are 6 memory slots and 3 are now being taken up with 1G sticks. You can either add 3 more 1G to a max of 6G or sell the 1G sticks and buy some 2G sticks that will get you op to 12G. This might cost you up to $350 or more depending on what memory you choose.

Is a can of Krylon and masking tape an option?

I agree, more mem and some masking tape =)

Another thing you may wanna consider is Dell. for the same price you can get almost the same system with a 23 inch monitor and 6GB ram (and much prettier!!)

Dell XPS Desktops

whether you want a dell or not, that's another story!

The Dell S2309W 23" monitor (if that is the one you are referring to) uses a TN panel. A poor match for photography. (And really anything else.)
