| 833797 | 2009-11-26 05:13:00 | I was browsing Trade & Exchange's website (www.te.co.nz)and came across this listing (http:). The guy selling it is located in Auckland so I guess shipping would be extra. Also it doesn't appear that it comes with a monitor. But it looks like great value. Anyway, the reason I mention it is that T&E is basically a competitor to Trademe, which has got to be a good thing. |

It is possibly a kid selling it, so you won't probably have any support or warranty with it. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is. I don't think it looks all that good value, doesn't seem to have a dedicated graphics card either. |

| 833800 | 2009-11-26 05:37:00 | Dont think its 10 ghz. Even tho its quad core. gigabit is probably what the NIC is, not the speed of the net. And you could probably get something similar with monitor for less than 1500. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 833801 | 2009-11-26 05:37:00 | I just pointed the inlaws to one of these. www.playtech.co.nz Combined it with an Asus 22" LCD and they are happier then a pig in muck. |

| 833806 | 2009-11-26 05:51:00 | i think thats the same guy a family member got one from. the case certainly looks the same which in fact was the problem. no front air inlet, crap power supply which was barely doing the job and it was running an unsupported cpu. old pc building trick is to skimp like crazy on all the parts people don't think about. ie cheap cases, psu. ive seen IDE cables left out, power leads not included etc. |
