| 602156 | 2007-10-16 06:26:00 | You sure that price is right with those spec's ? Retail price of Vista Basic is around the $420.00 mark Basic Viewsonic 19" LCD is around the low $300 mark, thats close to $720.00 RAM around 100, same for HD & CPU (each) - sounds either a good price or they undercharged you. Was it built for you and OS Installed as well? |

I'm a bit perplexed as to why Vista is on it. Being a Pentium D I would of expected XP. If the Vista really is retail then it is $400 otherwise it is OEM and is $130. |

| 602160 | 2007-10-16 07:03:00 | What about the price for the Motherboard & the price for a Case - Not going to get a case, PSU,motherboard, keyboard, mouse speakers and Headphones for $120.00. Not NZ $ anyway. Where are you quoting those prices from any way - I'm a reseller myself, and some of those prices are below the wholesale price most system builders would pay. |

Most of it is not even produced anymore, second hand + 20% seems to work ;) And you would be surprised. The cheapest motherboard goes for $55, Case w/ PSU $50. |
