pretty good deal. shipping was kinda high at about $14 to CA but it's a good mom and pop barebones pc.

That's kind of confusing -
" Other Features: Video. Audio, USB 2.0, 350W Power Supply"

"Also Recommended

Fudin ATX-268WUP 350W Blue Mid Tower ATX Case Call for Availability $ 59.99
Fudin PM-S350U 350W Power Supply Call for Availability $ 29.99"

Why would they recommend a case and power supply when it says it has a power supply ?
It's pictured with a case but that means nothing.

it is evidently a micro atx motherboard, the mb and cpu might be good enough to throw in an aria with a tv-out card and you would have yourself a nice little SFF HTPC

 

[BatmanNate]

Does it come with any memory?

 

[ConnCarl]

Seems like a good deal, except for the VIA chipset. I haven't built any VIA-based PCs lately, but in the past, every one I ever put together resulted in a very problematic Windows install.

My Laptop (Emachines M6805) has a Via chipset and I have had no problems installing Win XP, or 2K on it. Linux also works well. Great price.
