Too much money for outdated hardware.
Core 2 Quad are being replace with the new Core i3 n Corei5 :)
 
Nah, pass. Not that great a deal. Then when you get back you would have to pay 10% +14% VAT if customs stops you.

You could get it for about the same price here. R2999 with 2GB ram & 320GB HD which you could upgrade. http://www.zones.co.za/
