| 360313 | 2005-06-01 08:46:00 | Friend has been offered a cheap computer from a business contact, he's not into gaming etc and it sounds OK for his needs. Dell Optiplex GX240 Small Form Factor model Pentium 4 1.8Ghz CPU 128MB Ram, 40GB HDD Floppy& CD-Rom (no burner) Includes 17" Monitor, keyboard & mouse Windows XP Pro COA license but no software installed (I can provide, since the license is included). What's a fair price? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 360316 | 2005-06-01 10:05:00 | $200 to $300. I'd also say $300 max -my ideal would be $250ish. Ram is far from being enough if your friend may want to upgrade to Windows XP in the future. Even with 2000, its barely enough. The price only because it's a set with monitor, otherwise it'd be worthless |

| 360317 | 2005-06-01 10:48:00 | Sounds like $250-$300 is the go, extra RAM is cheap and his needs are very limited. If he buys it will end up with XP-Pro loaded at no additional cost so that seems to be a reasonable deal. He can surf with it and do WP & simple graphics, and he'd never use anything more powerful so why spend more money? When I think about it, the XP COA has got to be worth just about that.

| 360318 | 2005-06-01 11:35:00 | When I think about it, the XP COA has got to be worth just about that. Indeed. Sorry~ I thought it was Windows 2000 COA that was coming with it. I'd say definitely need more Ram if he decides to use anymore than say 1/4 of his hard disk or want more than 2 windows opened at the same time. My old PC struggled to work for me with just 128mb ram. |
