If its dont cheap. Im really wondering what might be wrong with it.

Thats alot less then retail, Id figure they would ask for atleast like 500$

Hmm interesting....I build my own so im good.

That is a pretty good deal. I'm always wary of 'too good to be true' deals. Not because there might be something wrong with the product or service, but because it could be someone just waiting to mug you for that $225 in your pocket

LOL I think this guy is honest. I don't know him personally, but he posts on a forum that I visit. He's selling his computer because he feels it's keeping him from living life to the fullest.

I just thought this was a good deal and someone might need another computer. Jason suggested we pick it up for Wes, but I told him that would make Wes officially spoiled.

That is a good deal for the configuration. However, If anyone is every looking for a new computer / laptop - talk to me. No - I don't make or sell computers, but I am always looking at deals for computers.

Right now, I can get at Dell Dimension 1100 Desktop with the following specs:

Dell 1100 Desktop
2.53 Ghz Celeron D
256 MB DDR
80 GB HD
48 X CDRW
17" LCD Screen (I don't know if the CL one include an LCD. )

Cost: $379. This is a BRAND NEW computer. If you want a 2 year warranty, it's any extra $34 after rebate.
