My neighbor offered to sell me his computer that he bought last year should I get it?

[Atlantean]

$1000 canadian for the whole thing... its a dell 2.4 ghz, 60gb harddrive (not the 80 gb I thought it was), not sure what video card, 18" dell lcd, printer, fax machine, wireless hub... and a bunch of other stuff that he has for it. Is it worth it? I still have to go and take a look at the thing, but it sounds ok just because of the lcd...
EDIT: So its a dell 4550: 2.4 ghz pentium 4, 60 gb harddrive, geforce4 mx 420 vid card, 512 mb ram, not an 18" lcd, it has a 17" lcd... (the 1700 or 01 or 02 or 03 or whatever the 1700 series one is), harmon kardon speakers
so not quite what I thought it was, but is it still a good deal?
EDIT 2: Yes still getting the printer and fax and the wireless router.

when going from canadian $ to american $ always move the decimal to the left one spot.

$1000.00 Canadian = $100.00 American.

 

[bockchow]

[RossMAN]

Which Dimension model is it? 4300, 4400, 4500, 4550, 4600, 8200, 8250, or 8300? Hopefully it's one of the 8xxx series.

What kind RAM and graphics card?

Yeah it is one of the 8xx series, he bought it in december of last year so not 100% sure what model, he said he paid $3600 for the monitor and computer.

EDIT: oops he didn't pay that much for the monitor and computer, thats what he paid for his laptop... and the computer is not one of the 8x series, its a 4550, I just went over there, he didn't really know what it was so he just said what he thought it was when he was telling me.

 

[Excelsior]

Guys, out of the $750 USD the 18" LCD makes up more than half. The rest of the system is guaranteed to be worth far more than $350.

 

[manly]

LMAO I could be wrong, but a computer/LCD does not depreciate 70% in 10.5 months, and that's not including all the peripherals you mentioned.

It would be nice if we knew ALL the specs but it sounds like a good deal.

Go for it.
