Be careful when people start saying they will throw in stuff because it sounds like he wants to move the stuff out fast and if he is in need of money he would not throwing stuff in for free.

I, too, would be *very* suspicious of sellers when they want to 'toss in' extra product. Buyer beware...

Lol, they were going to open their own custom computer shop with their "friend" but they bailed on them and now there stuck with a ton of brand new hardware and no money.
it's a D 915 I'll show you guys the craigslist post http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/sys/605436235.html By the way I'm dropping the mobo cuz it's junk and i'm gonna but a p31 for the same price. Also dropping memory. |

Don't get the Pentium D either. It's pretty old, and inferior to the core 2's. I would just buy online. If you really want good deals, search slickdeals.net. That's where a bunch of us find stuff.

I would agree with Oregon - If you're going to spend 2-300 why not buy something new. I personally would get a Dell Vostro (small business line) desktop. They frequently have specials in the 400 range (easily back into the 250-300 range once you sell off the monitor). Granted.. you'll never overclock with that rig but the c2d will be much faster, and you get quiet a bit more for the money - and a warranty.
