At the price it sounds reasonable butr first it may pay to take it into
a local computer shop and get them to test it out, I'm presuming it
includes a monitor, if not drop the price by 150-200, but even so with
the software that's provided it still sounds a reasonable buy. If I was
bying it I'd try to talk him down about 100 but if it's a reliable
machine I wouldn't complain.

Hope this has been of some help.
