link? and what type of ram and cpu?

the 18" lcd will cost you about $400, 30 gb is about $60, ram + cdrom = $40, cpu + mobo = $200, and case + psu + windows xp is about $150, so its not that bad

I dont have a link cause im talking to the guy I'm gonna buy it from... I think the CPU is a celeron (not sure) and ram is DDR

128 RAM isnt very much...A dell with integrated video usually means PITA to upgrade...does it have vga?

its probably the dell dimension 2350 which has integrated video/audio. there is no agp slot either. Assuming everything is new, the deal isn't that bad since the monitor retails for $565 right now (link).

You can also try ebaying the case for $200 and keeping the monitor. Take that $200 and either upgrade your current comp or start saving for a new one.

The computers gonna be used in an office so I dont mind the integrated video much, though I wish it had an AGP slot for future upgrade. Overall I think it still worth it so I think ill get it. Thanks for the help.
