First one by a mile. Upgrade to the AMD Athlon II X4 620 while you're at it. The $30 difference from the AMD Athlon II X2 240 is worth it.

The ADDAX computer is by the superior choice by far... but it's also much more expensive.

The BB option is $500, including a 18.5" monitor and windows 7 premium.
The ADDAX option is $530 for the quad core(how did they get that wrong on their website ...) 620, but then you also have to add in a 19" monitor (another $140 as listed - u can probably pick up a better monitor through one of NCIX's sales or boxing day) and Windows 7 (another $120) as listed, bringing the total to $790... which is >50% more expensive than the BB computer... so you can't really compare the two together...
