I'm officially 100% switching to the Mac and have purchased a DP 1.8GHZ Power Mac. Since I'm not playing games nearly as often as I used to, I would like to sell my upgraded HP a530 Athlon 64 3200+ system.

Also including the following games (w/ original media):

* Unreal Tournament 2004
* Farcry
* Pirates!

I bought this in July '04 from Circuit City and then upgraded it for gaming puposes. This means I have added:

* 128MB nVidia GeForceFX 5900XT 8X AGP graphics card (replaced the original FX5200)
* Antec Smartpower 350w Power Supply (to feed the video card) -- note that the computer runs virtually silent with the addition of this excellent PS
* 1GB of PC2700 RAM (up from the original 512MB)
* 52X CDRW (in addition to the DVDRW listed below, replaced the original CD-ROM drive)

Meanwhile, the base system itself is pretty impressive... featuring:

* AMD Athlon(64) XP 3200+ running at 2.0 GHz
* 400 MHz Front side bus
* 200GB 7200rpm Hard Drive
* DVD+R/+RW (4X)
* 9-in-1 card reader
* v.92 Modem
* USB 2.0
* Firewire (IEE 1394)
* Six-Channel Integrated AC97 audio

The system will come with a brand new (never used!) HP keyboard and mouse as shipped with the original system.

Also will ship with the full complement of originally included software:

* Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (fully licensed, with COA on case)
* Microsoft Works with Student and Teacher Edition 2003
* Microsoft Money 2004
* RecordNow 6.5
* WinDVD SE 4.0
* WinDVD Creator 2

The computer is running great and is guaranteed non-DOA. Everything works, and is in top-shape. This is an excellent gaming rig, and has served me well for the past year.

It will ship in its original box, complete with packaging, all original documentation and restore CDs. I will wipe the harddrive and restore to factory state (and will install the latest nVidia drivers for the upgraded video card).

Asking $649. Please email jlw2000@gmail.com for more info.
