Yes.

It won't be very upgradeable or overclockable 'tho.

And it'll be BTX form factor.

But for internet/office/non-gaming use it looks like a good system.

And to the forums!

Welcome to the Forums!

For $250 you can't go wrong for what is listed. As JCLW mentions, you won't have much OC'ing options(if any), but you will have a bit of upgradability. Also, you could probably part it out and make a profit.

i agree with stool - i would buy it and part it out for a profit and then build your own PC

that's an amazing deal though

some things to consider are whether or not it has a videocard slot, and whether or not you ever want to play a game on it. if it doesnt and you dont then its a screaming deal like the other above said. if you do want videogaming capability and it doesnt have a videocard slot... then its not the greatest deal.

it all depends what you want it for

the dell xps400's dual core 2.8's for 500$ refurbed are a great deal too for gamers since it have the ability to accept new videocards.
