| 521149 | 2007-01-31 21:56:00 | What about an operating system? There was no allowance for that in your PC you had priced up earlier in the thread. | Tukapa (62) | ||
| 521150 | 2007-01-31 22:06:00 | What about an operating system? There was no allowance for that in your PC you had priced up earlier in the thread. I've already got the XP home cd. |

| 521151 | 2007-01-31 22:13:00 | The machine that WolfForest22 is linking to does appear to be a good price but I'd be a bit suspect about the operating system. Can’t see them getting into that price range with a properly licensed copy of Windows XP Pro. | gcarmich (10068) | ||
| 521152 | 2007-01-31 22:15:00 | Well I did a quick throw together and got this Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 CPU Asus P5VD2-MX motherboard HLC-9639SB case with 400W PSU Seagate 160GB SATAII hard drive Genius Easytouch Optical II keyboard and optical mouse 512MB DDR2 533Mhz memory (would go for 1GB if you can stretch that far) CMV 745AS 17" LCD monitor (8ms) Asus DRW-1608P3S DVD writer 1.44MB floppy drive Asus 7100GS 128MB turbo graphics card (PCI-E) All assembled $1141 (inc GST) + freight Can purchase Vista Premium OEM for another $157 if you didn't want to use the XP disc you have although I wouldn't try and run Vista on the above setup!!! |

| 521153 | 2007-01-31 22:17:00 | Yep - I agree about the TradeMe one - XP Professional included in that price would have to be dodgy. I suppose it doesn't matter if he has an XP installation disc at home that he is willing to use. | Tukapa (62) | ||
| 521154 | 2007-01-31 22:40:00 | If I told him not to include the disc how much do you think I could save? I'd rather save $200+ and use XP Home than XP Pro...What's the difference anyway. | --Wolf-- (128) | ||
| 521155 | 2007-01-31 22:44:00 | He doesn't include the disk anyway - so your not going to save anything. XP Pro has the ability to join a domain, XP home can't. It also has a couple of other things but nothing thats important for a home user. |

| 521156 | 2007-01-31 22:58:00 | Oh, I read it wrong, thought it said (Not installed, disk) So would anyone recommend that computer or what? |
