I have an old HTPC that I need rid of. It's a decent system and runs fine. I just built a new one in a nicer case with an nVidia dual tuner card. Here's the specs:
Dell Dimension 4300 case
Dell Dimension 8300 motherboard (i875 chipset socket 478)
512MB PC3200 (1 module, 4 sockets on the board)
2.66Ghz Pentium 4 800Mhz FSB
Video card you have two choices ATi All in wonder Radeon 9600XT AGP(will not come with remote)
Or a an eVGA GeForce 6600GT AGP. You can have one or the other, but not both.
16X Lite-on DVD Burner (burns Dual layer too)
Dell 48X CD-RW Drive (might be slower, might be a 52X don't know)
250GB SATA Hard Drive
3.5" Floppy Drive
On-board LAN and 5.1 Audio
56k modem.
Windows XP Media Center Edition installed activated and validated (or XP Pro if you don't take the all in wonder).
The case is missing a plastic bezel that goes around one of the 5 1/4" Drive bays (the drive still has its own bezel) and a plastic piece from the rear of the case is missing. No critical parts missing. Add some more RAM and you can run Vista with Aero or even play some newer games on it. It's fairly quiet and the machine will be thouroughly cleaned.
I'm asking $300 which includes shipping and insurance anywhere in the lower 48 states. Mind you, the shipping will run about $50 and I'll be using the sturdiest cardboard box I can buy with high density expanding foam inserts (like OEMs sometimes use). For those here at Straferight that don't know me from Notebookforums I'm a moderator in the Dell section as well as a Dell certified field technician. I have some heatware under "slaixth" and ebay feedback under the same name. As a special bonus to my sR.:. friends I'll give you a 60 day warranty on this PC. If any part fails I'll provide a return shipping label and replace it (pending my own tests). That includes the board, PSU, CPU, Memory, drives, and video card.
