Doesn't seem that good to me. Besides the P4 3.0, those parts are what you would find in a computer 5+ years ago.

The monitor is decent. Since shipping is free, thats also a plus. It's really up to you, just dont plan on having it be a high-end machine.

lol. All the guy can talk about, in really crappy English, is the damn monitor. I think you are buying a monitor and he's throwing in the computer for free.

That monitor isn't worth any more than $100 USD. I don't believe for a second that the computer is 10 months old. The optical drive and HDDs are antiques. My great, great, great, great grandaddy had a 64MB Matrox Parhelia. The HDD is a WD, so don't expect much life left in it.

The mobo is an Intel board, so it doesn't overclock.

Shipping is free? No shit... That's because you have to go to his house and pick it up. lol. Now THAT'S funny.

For the price he wants for it I think it's a wee bit high. The only thing worth anything in the whole computer is the CPU and the monitor. The only reason it could sell for the price he wants is because of all the parts put together. Seperately they would be worth squat.

I dunno. I wouldn't buy it myself.

haha...laughed out loud when i saw that...does that mean gamers aren't professionals? i beg to differ

ONLY buy complete computers if you don't plan on upgrading, as it's a rule of thumb that the motherboard is a piece of crap.

If you do plan on upgrading/switching parts around/etc, build it yourself.

Personally I dislike Trinitrons, as I can't stand the stabilization wires. I certainly wouldn't consider it a bargain.
