Anyone think its not worth it? I already have a hard drive.. which I will put in there.. and monitor / mouse /keyboard and really everything I need. and 328$ isnt all that much either. and I will go and pick it up downtown, so I dont have to pay for shipping.


and how much can I expect to pay for wireless / non-wireless networking?? because I can't have the computer without internet. lol

[senocular]

you'll know its worth it when other kirupians start bidding on it :P

[redViper]

you're bidding?? eh?

[senocular]

oh, i see.

yes, another smart arse comment gone awry as a result of looking solely at the url and not what it actually links to :(

[redViper]

way to go. lol.
i just need to know if its a good deaaaaaaaaaaal

If you already have your internet connected to the house:

wireless: $175 can. Got my wi fi card for $100, plus the hub you're looking at that amount.
non-wireless- next to nothing, just need an ethernet cable, and an ethernet card, which the mobo probably comes with.

[redViper]

yea, but see the thing is.. my one computer is in my basement, and my other one will be up 2 more levels. lol.. but I guess it wouldn't really be an issue to wire it through the walls.. they are basically stacked on each other

I have the same issue, and solved it this weekend by wireless, lol.

Apple Airport upstairs, second level. Thats the only place the internet comes in in my house, and we're moving shortly so theres no use in wasting time running wires. But because we're selling the house, we needed to move my computer downstairs into my room (basement) because the computer room looked too crammed with 2 desks/2 comps. So I have my wireless card now and all is dandy.

is it me, or does it not come with a cd rom / cd rw?

[senocular]

look at the configurations chart about half-way down the page.

[mdipi]

i bet you can build your own cheaper :-/

[redViper]

****. but a cd rom or cd-rw drive isn't that much to begin wtih.

@ hansel: The hell you can. Remember, thats Canadian dollars, not American. You wouldn't be able to come close to that if everything was new from a store.
