General Chat / Critique this comp (aka DOES THIS COMP HAVE ISSUES?)
« on: November 19, 2008, 05:46:47 pm »
So I'm in the market for a new comp that's about a mid range system and I come across this:
This comp is $459.99 Canadian which comes out to be ~$375.90 US. Shipping to the US is $40 Canadian which is ~$31.90.
I realize it does not have an operating system and I don't give a crap about sound cards or that it uses an on board network card... barring those things... how is this rig so cheap??? Does it have teh aids? I see this specific setup on eBay from this company up constantly so they're just churning these babies out... can anyone more tech savvy than me take a glance at this??? Is this just an amazing deal or what? Help me out here...
