[Ghost-Flight]

350$ wich i find a great deal for what i got!

its a big upgrade form what i had.. it was a 2001 Vaio with a 1.4 Gz , 38mb graphics card.. 80 Gb hard drive and some more stuff i cant rember.

[Thorin]

Yep, good deal. Was this a custom deal online, or are you a lucky person that has connections with Sony? :D

Edit: Wait...wtf? I clicked a link and it says the computer is $1099! $999 after rebate...

[gamepin126]

[Ghost-Flight]

[gamepin126]

[starcraft_rocks]

my computer is the shizit 3.4 Ghz HT processor 1mb L2 cache 800Mhz fsb 2 gigs sd ddr 400 Mhz Radeon X800 / 256MB GDDR3 / PCI Express video card 19 inch flat screen 200 Gig SATA HDD 200gig ata 7200 rpm reg hdd mine is kicking ass w00t and i built it myself :D :D :D :P :P :P :P :P

[Ghost-Flight]

Yea, open box is the best deals you can find at a low price. some times people mess with them tho but thats what the warrinty is for!

[AznDisgrace]

I don't get it... What's worth bragging about? Is it the 512mb of ram? Or is it the integrated graphics?

[duckduckgoose]

ghost rip out that graphics card replace it and up that ram to 1 gig then get rid of xp and put on 98 and youve got yourself a bitching pc

[Uniquely_Defined]

It's not like it matters to say you have a better computer, there is always a better deal out there. I mean I got my computer for 180$(not my laptop) and it is about the same as the brand new one my grandparents got for 2k...(to gamepin of course)

[Ghost-Flight]

its a upgrade for me right now my old computer is less then Half of that. and why put 98 on it? i want to bump ram to 1Gb-2Gb and put in a good graphics card.
