Whats a reasonable price?

Or are you just doing the occasional favour to MyBroadbanders?

That one at the moment.

Something to do while I'm doing my Networking course (A+, N+, MCSE etc.).

If things go well then I might go into a partnership with a friend who will be able to handle the media side, including making a website.

Working on a new quote. Going to try and save where ever is possible so we can get you that monitor.

 

[hj2k_x]

What is the budget for the whole thing with the monitor and everything?

Either way, buying new is certianly the better option.

 

[SlyFly]

The budget is actually R8000 for everything...

Would you rather take that pc Or the second hand one and just buy the LG L1918 19" Black LCD and Gigabyte Gigabyte Black PS/2 Keyboard 104 Keys + Black and Silver USB Laser Mouse 1600CPI for around about R2000 and then its price will be around R7500 (Exc. shippnig)

At the moment I dont really have a budget, just looking around, need to scrape the money together if anything...

 

[hj2k_x]

I would take the new one. It is always going to be better to buy the stuff new, especially if the price difference isn't huge.

That one looks like a decent gaming machine to me
