Hi guys, a friend of mine is desperately in need of a new PC. I've tried to get him to buy a Mac (which he admittedly would prefer), but money is an issue right now.
He's looking for something over 1.2ghz, 30gig hd, at least 256 ram, and a cd burner. Video card etc... aren't that important. He's already got a monitor.
Also, it would be nice if OS was included. If not, no biggie.
Please post offers or email anthonyvthc at hotmail dot com

Thanks guys.

ebay is kind of more hassle than he's looking for. I trust most of the people on here and I think they know about fair prices, etc... in the pc world. Alot of ebay deals are ripoffs (ie $75 shipping, no OS on most systems, etc). Thanks for trying to help though.
