I still think its a bargain, the fact its not Core 2 etc is a side issue.

How many home users would NEED Core 2 etc to browse the net, sell on TM and chat with their cousins in Aus? NOT MANY!

No he didn't because as I said, he's got old hardware in it.
All the new PCs take at least DDR2-533 now.
Crap motherboard, old RAm.

602175 2007-10-16 22:29:00 I still dont see the reason why intel has to make crippled cpu's?...***, an E2140 dual core @ $100. Why would anyone settle for a celeron? SolMiester (139)
602176 2007-10-17 03:54:00 For about $700-800 you could get a nice upgrade box and then just hunt for a screen in your budget and it would still be better than the quote you put up. beeswax34 (63)
602177 2007-10-17 04:26:00 If it was running XP, it would have been a good deal, but still obsolete. In order for something to be value for money, it has to work properly, or be insanely cheap & kinda work. Not much chance of that with Vista. Greven (91)
602178 2007-10-17 05:44:00 hello people, Yeah i had a list of computer parts to pick. I didn't know too much on computers so i just picked the standard value with great price. I thought 2.9ghz is new. i dont know what is dual core or what so ever, i just know 2.9ghz would be fast enough. grahic (12930)

Honestly, why din't you ask for advice??? I mean there's this forum, local computer shops or even the Inter-Web. There's no excuse nowadays for staying ignorant about something.

602181 2007-10-17 16:35:00 in the u.s. thats a rip off, the only good thing you got is the lcd monitor. you could have built my machine for that much and would still have enough for that lcd monitor wich would have only cost me $150. deathracer (11825)
