I found this machine on ebay

It's brand new and I priced out all the parts seperate and it comes out to $549 not assembled

the only draw back is low feedback, however he did just sell a macbook for 700 or something and the customer was happy

CPU and memory are bare minimum in today's world. Not suitable for games but fine for surfing, email, spouse box. I MIGHT go $225-250, definitely no more.

+1. Specs are minimal for modern gaming but if you're just wanting a super cheap machine to fanny about on for surfing teh pr0n, e-mails etc then crack on.

no gaming

at all

Curious as to why the graphics card is reasonably high end though (I'm told the 800 series 8800, 9800 etc are best) when everything else is mediocre.

Enjoy your new rig then.

I noticed that too. Just plan on bumping the RAM to 4GB at least. That might cost $75-100 tops. I'm all aboot the quad cores myself.
