Normally I advise against premade systems, but this is a deal too good for even me to pass up:

For $140 (USD) you get a fairly decent system. Just throw in a newer PCIE card and you'll have a very potent gaming rig. They even ship international. I found this while looking for a q6600 processor, but now I'm just going to get this system and take the proc out and put my old one in. Anyone else who needs a spare pc, or any of the parts included here, should definitely jump on this sweet deal. I kept looking for a catch but I couldn't find one. This does indeed seem too good to be true.

I'm.. tempted to tell my gf to get this. Her PC is terrible.

..huh. Yeah, there must be a catch?

$140? I just paied £115 on a graphics card...

could someone check the shipping to new zealand? the cpu alone costs a good $5-600

Why so cheap? Are you sure it has a Q6600 and 7600GT in it? There is nothing to indicate it does other than the title. I think you've made a horrible mistake: buying nothing but a case, power supply, and some RAM for $140.

You don't believe it, eh luigi?

Definitely have my reservations. Did you place your order already?
