    This is the kind of pc that I would shift out after getting new ones. Not worth it even for $80, as others said.

    We have a couple of these in my office - someone donated them a couple of years ago. Honestly, they work fine, and we've had very few issues. I probably wouldn't go out and actually purchase them for my employees (I'd get them something newer), but for most of my people this allows them to use Office, web browse, listen to music and pretty much everything else they need to do or their jobs, which aren't that resource heavy.

    If it had a bad capacitor, it'd have already let the smoke out.

    Haha....check out the disclaimer at the bottom of the page...

    "You should by no means buy this product based on the description or the picture"?

    WTF? What can we base our decision on then?

    Got mine for free, use as a HTPC. Added a $40 video card and now handles Netflix streaming ok. I wouldn't pay anything for one though.

    That may be true #11, but do they come with a 90 day Slurpus Computers warranty? I thought not.

    I think this is a decent deal.. it's a good system for anyone who just needs a cheap PC. Yeah it's not a Dual Core Gaming Machine but it's only $80 AND if you need XP Pro it's the perfect solution. I know at the office that I work at we only have machines with XP Pro.

    Any way this could handle playing BluRay with an updated graphics card and an extra gig of ram?
