**************************************
i was thinking of charging maybe 500 for it but im feeling that might be a bit excessive

[ben-the-slacker]

In a general store, I'd say they'd charge 600-800 for it.

[thePh@r@oh]

so my price tage is fairly competitive..keep in mind this is with no monitor

[Omardeth]

well if it is all new stuff ya about 400-500$ i think 5 is alittle on the high side . but if you can get it wooohoooo .

[izaic3]

how big's the hd?

[thePh@r@oh]

80G

[izaic3]

depends on brand, but if you can get 500 that'd be good, maybe a bit expensive, but yah

[thePh@r@oh]

what about

52x CDrw
16x DVD
80G HDD
mouse/keyboard
2.0 speakers
256MB pc2700
P4 2.4Ghz
winXP
onboard vid/audio/NIC

**no monitor**

for 650-700

[John Prophet]

thats even worse, lol....cuz of the onboard vid...and the fact that Dell puts those insane prices in everyone's face 24/7 on TV.


Just outta curiousity..whats it costing u to build that? PM me if u want....but it looks like 650 would be like 300 profit...which to me is expecting a LOT especially for no monitor. I think if u threw in an envision 775E (which can be had for around $65 ar) then it might stretch to $600ish

[thePh@r@oh]

its costing me about 540 to build
