[PLUG] computer for sale (new)


I have a 3 GHz P4, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB hard drive that I'd like to sell.
MB has onboard video, sound, ethernet, and USB.  It's basically new.
I'm asking $500 or best offer.  (I'm not sure what the price should
be, but I think that's decent under the circumstances.)

The story (and disclaimer):

I bought this machine and subsequently had RAM problems.  Running
memtest86 showed occasional flakiness (1 in 3 passes generated
errors).  With extensive fiddling with BIOS and, eventually, just
removing and reseating the RAM, the problems appear to have gone away.
By this I mean that I've run memtest86 for 11 hours with no problems.

Unfortunately the whole thing leaves me with a residual bad taste.
So, while I strongly suspect the machine is now fine, I just don't
feel like using it.  It brings back bad memories...
