he was pretty straight forward about what he wanted, so i dont think he'd care about having the software. he doesnt need a $200 monitor for a sub $600 system, either.

I have a Sony Vaio from 2002 that plays CS 1.6 fine with settings maxed out.

Sony Viao
Petium 4. 2.02 ghz
Radeon 9800
512 of Ram (you have space to upgrade)
Audigy Xtreme sound card.
Dual drives: DVD Burner and reader (does dual layer and comes with Nero installed)
160 gig hdd.

Has a bunch of software still loaded on the computer, I could leave it on, or erase most of it. The reinstallation CD does not work for some reason, so if you wanted a fresh install, you would need a copy of XP.

But software wise, it has Nero 6, Microsoft Office, Adobe Primere elements, Adobe photoshop Elements, Sony Vegas, Sony DVD Architect along with some other fun stuff.

Flaws:
Cosmetically, it has a couple of scratchs on the side and front...also the flap that houses the usb ports is off. The DVD burner is an upgraded one made by sony I bought last year but it is black, while the computer is a faint purplish/beigeish color. Fan on card is kinda loud....also I had a driver issue where the comp would do stop errors. However, I figued it was my wireless card and it is no longer in the computer. I also don't have a monitor to offer...well that would be in your price range.

I'll let it go for $400.

Yes. Also, have you though about just getting a cheap Dell and upgrading the graphics card?

ha i was thinking of doing that but once again i have no idea what graphics card is better then the last but all i need on it is to have 1 port for the monitor and some cards have the port right next to it and it looks almost the same so i need that too so i can set up my dual monitors
