I seen an ad with someone selling the following: " Machine are as follows: - Intel Pentium 4 1.6GHz - 256 MB RAM - 20Gig Hard drive - Creative GeForce 420MX - CD Rom / floppy 2xUSB etc. - 15.1" TFT Flatscreen monitor EUR600." Is this reasonable? I'm not well up on pc prices at the moment.

You could buy a brand new computer with a faster processor for less. Second hand computers are usually worth half what the person selling them thinks they're worth

Im not really sure how much TFT's cost but it seems slightly pricey to me, if TFT's cost a fair whack then i guess its ok. If its in the Buyandsell i wouldnt really go for it as thye really overprice stuff there.

have a look on the for sale forum, u can get good pc's for reasonably cheap sometimes.

If you were to build that brand new it would cost u about €420 + a monitor.

Wait for another opinion tho.
