They said $40.00, I offered $30.00, they said "Sold!" This thing is built like a tank! I actually put it on a scale because I had to know, and it weighs forty pounds; it's a computer that can double as workout equipment. Socket 1366, i7 920, twelve gigabytes of DDR3, a GTX 260 (an unusual OEM version that has 1.7 gigabytes of DDR3), an SB0880 X-Fi, a wireless N card, a DVD RW, and a Blu Ray RW. I decided to buy it because the X-Fi alone goes for about $30.00 on Ebay.
Everything works, though of course the hard drive is old and slow and the Windows 7 installation is badly in need of being formatted.
Had one of these at work about 10 years ago, used for CAD 2D/3D drawings. Solid machine never gave me problems despite being a Dell.
The "stock" graphics card was a Radeon HD variant but can't recall the exact model.
