desktop system for sale !cheap!

[Christopher Friedt]

I just thought I'd mention again that I have a fairly recent amd64 
desktop system for sale. I'm willing to give it away for extremely 
cheap. The only reason I'm selling it is that I'm out of the country for 
an extended period of time & don't have anywhere to store it.

Please email me off-list if you're interested.

The specs are listed below:

======================= $ 450 ==============================

This machine is only approximately 17 months old. I've been away since 
October and it's been doing absolutely nothing for 8 of those months.

All hardware is 100% linux compatible, including OpenGL acceleration wth 
the ATI graphics adapter using proprietary drivers.

Aside from linux enthusiasts, if anyone has a son or daughter going to 
university soon, this would be an excellent way to save money instead of 
buying a brand-new computer with all peripherals.

The motherboard uses the same socket (939) as the newer multi-core AMD 
processors, but i've only tested it with a single-core processor.

I'm practically giving this machine away because i'm selling it for 
$450. Originally I paid around $900 for the case, motherboard, ram, and 
CPU - pci parts alone. The AGP card was originally $100, the Wireless 
card was a special order for $130, and the audio card was originally 
$100. The monitor was originally $100. I haven't taken any of the other 
parts into my price approximation, but it's safe to say that I'm selling 
it for less than 33% of the original price.

Everything is in excellent condition except 1 channel in the surround 
speakers doesn't work, but they're really old and better speaker systems 
can be purchased relatively cheap.

Please email me off-list if you're interested.
