Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a new computer, and I have seen a good one for around $800AUD. IT doesn't inclued a screen, but I can pick up one later.

Here are the specs

- Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q6600: 2.40 GHz, 8 MB L2 CACHE, 1066 MHz FSB
- NVIDIA Geforce 8600 GS: 256 MB DDR2 SDRAM, DirectX 10 and HDCP support
- 500GB hard drive
- 2048 MB DDR2 SDRAM with 667 MHz at 64 Bit, Dual Channel Memory
- Multiformat DVD/CD burner
- Integrated Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11n draft
- Network controller Ethernet LAN 10/100 Mbit/s on board
- 8 Channel High Definition Audio

Comes with Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1

I can upgrade it later on when I have the money. My current computer can't be upgraded any further and is getting long in the tooth (I've had it for over three years and it was a second had computer to begin with, so it's around 7 years old)

Does this seem like a good deal?
