For under 200, that's ok.
This machine is really only good for office stuff. I would not try to play anything high-powered.

For a web browser, pre - xp revolution ( utilities not OS )
i think its a good cheap system. you only need the turbocharged ninja machines for gaming or high quality rendering. |

as mentioned, good work for the price, hell the monitor would be $99 of the price.
just go and pick up an 80gb hdd for cheap to save all your work though. 20gb hdd will be full and fall over within a few weeks

Got two of them for $320 The other P/C is a GX260
I hope to upgrade them if it can be done... Yes I figure the LCD is "almost" worth the price... Now I get my laptop back....

Price seems okish. I have a HP D530 SFF which I resurrected after it was binned at work due to bung PSU and being out of warranty. I put in a 40 GB HDD, fixed the PSU and it runs nicely as my day-to-day rig for browsing the net/checking mail... my gaming PC is too loud to run all the time and sometimes I need quiet!!
