OS- Vista home premium - 32bit

CPU-intel pentium D 925 3.0 Ghz Dual Core

Memory- 1GB DDR2

HDD- 160GB SATA

Optical- Super Multi

Video- SIS 968

PSU- 250W

included was keyboard and ball mouse. seperatly purchased 15' IBM flat panel LCD for $30.00

the real kick is that its all made by Acer....ahahaha crappy ol'e acer and suprisingly this is a solid platform to build/learn on.

the above listed was my very first rig, bought it just for internet. took the side panel off and realized all the room for improvment and have been stuck ever since.

well all in all i just wanted to post this to see if you think i got a good deal on my first comp with no knowledge what so ever.



sorry...its the only pic of it i have, well you get to see some of my room to lol

lol everything seen for $280 for under $300 i think i got a decent comp. now ive turned it into a way nicer rig. i just need a new bored hdd and psu and theres not a single acer part left. im gunna rebuild the stock acer out of the scrap parts and sell it lol

EDIT: +REP for response!
i'd get a new psu first unless you want it to take down the whole system when it's fried...

Bunch of savages... I hate criminals. Ive always wanted to do a security cam setup, I actually found some pretty cool LAN enabled ones that have support for 16 cams with pan and tilt, IR LED for night vision, etc. But... thats a bit hardcore for my needs
