We need to help out brother Lethal. He needs a second system. It needs to be decent but no need for uber. Budget <= 1000 US Dollars. Preference is a fully built system such as a Dell or Gateway, etc. But pieces parts is doable. Main function will be World of Warcraft. Please commense with system finding!

No monitor, just system.

So I'm not sure if this is good yet, I'm going to get some more details on exactly what is in these boxes but my friend at work's father owns a tiny computer store and has a couple boxes currently being rented out that will be coming back soon and wants to sell them for about 1/2 what he put into them. Here is the tiny details I have now and I've requested my friend to get more information and I'll post it soon.

P4 3.0Ghz
2GB RAM
250GB HDD
128 ASUS video card
basic cd and floppy
Netgear nic
keyboard/optical mouse
XPpro
$565

Might be an option if it ends up being good equipment though the same basic parts may end up being cheaper to just build yourself. This is a really small store so they don't get bulk discounts or anything so they may have paid too much for the parts. I'll find out soon what they are and update.

Ok... I was told to remove the keyboard/mouse combo and the headset. I also forgot to add an operating system since I'm not used to doing that myself. ;) I also doubled the HDD to a 160GB instead. The original link should be updated now.

New total before shipping is now 916.16.
