The configuration is okay if you basically need it for home use and if the price includes the generating set as well as the printer. You can always reconfigure or upgrade if the use differs though I know the system spec are okay and recent. |

@skintom77 The System specs are NOT up-to-date, and it isn't really a good deal for 145k. Pentium 4s are old news, get a Core 2 Duo processor, Dual core is the thing these days. Also 80GB is shockingly anaemic these days. You should have at least 120 - 160GB. Personally if i was getting a desktop system i will not settle for anything less than 200GB. Dunno how much they are in Naija, but i've seen 200GB HDDs for 89 euros in the Netherlands. 512 MB RAM is worthless. Don't you plan to run Vista on it someday? Or at least run demanding apps and games? Don't be deceived by the printer, UPS and Gen. Generator = 10k 600VA UPS = 6500 Printer = 6500 total cost of the 'deal sweeteners' is 23k, meaning you buy this POS system for 122k. Assemble a vastly more impressive system by yourself! |

its not such a good deal, with about 90k i can configure a vastly superior pc with 15 inch flat screen monitor, gen is 10k n printer 8k ups 6 / 7k, giving u 115k total, unless u dont have the hard cash available, if u do i advise u to go to otigba/computer village, u will even get it lower!!! |

I believe you can get the same config for about $600 if you really wanted to get it. I mean sure the pay over 6 months is good too, but I would not pay that much if I were in your shoes. The configuration below is far better than the one you are looking at buying and this cost about $650 Intel®Pentium® dual-core processor E2140 (1MB L2,1.60GHz,800 FSB) Genuine Windows Vista® Home BasicMemory 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs 1GB62 Keyboard and Mouse Bundles Dell USB Keyboard and Dell Optical USB Mouse EKOM Monitor 17 inch ViewSonic VA1703wb LCD Monitor VS17WI Video Cards Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 IV Hard Drives 160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™ 160S Floppy Drive and Media Reader No Floppy Drive Included NFD Mouse Mouse included with Keyboard purchase Network Interface Integrated 10/100 Ethernet IN Modem and Wireless 56K PCI Data Fax Modem DFAX Adobe Software Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 8.1 AAREAD Optical Drive 48X CDRW/DVD Combo Drive 48COMBO Sound Cards Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio IS Office Productivity Software (Pre-Installed) Microsoft Works 8.
