    Uhm Yeah it's a good PC, although you should upgrade the RAM from 2Gig to 4Gig, and the CPU may not be the best around. BTW the man who made the advert doesn't look very reliable.

    i would be very careful with ebay purchases...

    remember the old xbox 360 scam, where the guy auctioned off a picture for a couple 'undred quid???

    get as many details as possible cause once you buy there aint no going back..

    Don't get second hand junk it's always a bad idea for a number of reasons. How much are you looking to spend?

    Well if that's all you want to pay then good luck with the ebay thing but I reckon that will go for at least £300.

    ...Well it turns out sir you are spot on but it may look like I've found an alternative, I'll be back on here tomorrow with how I have bought said alternative and how broke it is!

    Haha.

    Oh wow that's the ugliest case I've ever seen in my life...

    But... That IS a sick deal, he must be an idiot to sell it at that price, the games alone that he gives are worth that much.
