Not available
Checking out Newegg.com now for a decent system.
I LIKE Macs aweright. My professors requires their students to have a PC for MS Office Suite school assignments.

Not enough info to tell for sure. Could have really cheap components. 300W PSU? Uses SO-DIMMS? Asus does generally make good components. Build one out on Newegg with the same specs and see what it comes to.

Or Fusion. Or Parallels. Or VirtualBox.

For the price of the computer you want:
$649 + $150 monitor + $100 keyboard and mouse = Already $900
With your Education Discount, you could get a MacBook Air, or 13" MacBook Pro.
It would be portable, you could take it to class, take it to the library, do work anywhere you want to.
