The cpu is worth about $50, the motherboard may not be worth anything. It only has 2 PCI slots, is very limited on upgradeability, and have never even heard of that brand before. You could get an MSI motherboard with 6 PCI slots, ATA 100 spec, and 1.5GHz support + a better cpu for just a little more.

Check out the sellers feedback here. Looks like quite a few of negative posts. For example,
here is one of the comments from an unhappy buyer:

SOLD ME TRASH! $10 SPEAKERS WILL COST $30 TO REPLACE! BID HERE--YOU LOOSE!!!!!

I would stay away.....

Well, I wouldn't go as far as Shu8, but ALWAYS check the feedback!!! There was a trackball I'm planning on getting that was posted for a quarter retail, but the person only had 6 feedback, all of the good one's were fer buying not selling. And out of the 6, she still had 2 bad, one nuetral. I question whether to buy from someone if they have only a few hundred feedbacks. But many of them have several thousand, with only two or three negative. Find me a company with that kind of track-record :)
