Worth the money?

Hi guys. I have been offered a rig that was used in a gaming shop before it closed down. Specs that i have been told are

9700gs gfx card
2gb ddr2
250gb hdd
dual core athlon at 2.1ghz????
19" ws tft

Comes with xp installed and with case, mobo and psu for £280, just wanted to know if it would be worth getting or else just pass it up.

If it were just the tower, I'd say leave it, but with the monitor as well that price is pretty good and by the looks of it the system will offer some good upgrade paths in the future should you wish.

its alright I guess, seeing as it comes with a monitor, depends what the screen is like. Personally I probably wouldnt for that much.

If it is "secondhand" which it appears to be, at that price, I would say leave it...

What would be a good price you think then, thats even if i could afford to scrape the money up in time before he sells these machines

sketch145 · 20 Mar 2009 at 23:38
