Your opinion on this ebay computer

[woody599]

I'm thinking about a new gaming system, i know i should build one myself but this computer doesn't look too bad and its tried and tested. (and easy )

ATI Radeon x800 XT 256mb AGPx8 graphics card - This graphics card goes for around £200 over here which is more than half the price for the computer itself.

Genuine Windows XP operating system install and full installation CD with original box - Windows XP comes too, that can cost upwards of £50 over here.

I was just wondering if you guys approve of it? I'm very tempted to place a bid. I don't think i'd go anymore than £400 for it though.

OMG.. unlucky. It ended literally after i posted this, i didn't even relise. Lol.. ohwell. Went for £320

DO NOT BID.

The Pentium 4 is not a very good processor compared to today's standards. It is even worse for gaming.

I would most definitely not buy it. Build your own, it is the best option. You can get a great, NEW gaming computer.

EDIT: It just ended, its to your benefit.

What are you on about? For £320, that's a really good computer.

1. I dont know how much $$ that is.

2. I dont think he should spend any money on a gaming computer with a P4, he could buy a cheap AMD computer and have much better performance.

Plus it has an AGP slot...i'd go for something with a PCI-E slot for the future.
