Yes, I have considered both eBay and a local auction site TradeMe. New Zealand being a relatively smalll country (4 Million total population) and being 1500 NM from the nearest eBay site Ebay.au.com transport costs would be expensive. Even within NZ it would cost $NZ50 to get a system half the length of the country.

The local PC Builder also offers a 28 day warranty... not much but at least they build and test the complete system and warranty it.

Cheers

I'd suggest a little reordering. The amount of video RAM isn't very
important for FGFS (as long as it's at least 64 MB or so). So I'd
exchange video RAM and processor speed.

When you are on a tight budget: have you thought of buying a used one
from eBay? At least in Germany you can get quita a bargain for used ones.

CU,
Christian
