MicroATX case
ASUS Socket AM2 motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ dual core
1GB DDR2-533 ram
Dual DVD Burners
160GB hard drive
Nvidia 7600GS 256MB video card
Dial up modem

$1100

Warranty is 1 year parts, 90 days labor. Hard drive has 5 year warranty.

If you would like an ATX case and motherboard for more expansion options,
that would add $50.

Oh, I thought you were going to ask if you should buy it, and I would have
said no fricking way, terribly overpriced junk. -Dave
 
Forsale posts are usually restricted to the forsale groups.

By the way. This is a worldwide public forum. I think this
particular group is for homebuilding PCs and homebuilt PC users.

Otherwise, have fun.

Once again, I wasn't paying attention and intended it to be an email to a
customer. I forgot that I had the newsgroups open. I have been incredibly
busy lately and have done this twice now. Maybe I need more sleep. I don't
build many customer computers but occasionally someone will call and not
want an off the shelf machine.
 
It was supposed to be a quote to a customer, but I wasn't paying attention
and forgot I was viewing newsgroups. As far as being overpriced, it is
basically the cost of the parts with shipping plus about $170 to cover labor
and any warranty work (the 90 days isn't set in stone, I take care of my
customers). Why would you say it was junk? The only vendor name I used was
ASUS (well and AMD) and they are the only brand I have used that has never
had a problem. I don't usually build machines because you can't compete on
price, but sometimes people will call and want one. And I quoted him exactly
what he wanted.
 
Not junk.Just not the best parts.533 DDR2 has sooo much latency. You're
right no one can compete on price with the biggies.
