Here are the specs.

Hardware:
Hard drives: 2 @7200 rpm totaling 400 gigs
Memory: 4GB OCZ DDR2
A nvidia geforce 9600 GT
A DVD burner
Processor: An Intel core2 duo e2200 - 2.2 GHz
(over clocked and running closer to 3 GHz)
Mother Board: MSI platinum
I think specifically this one: 865PE Neo2 Platinum
450 watt power supply
A few fans

Some off-brand keyboard
Some ok (not great) speakers
And maybe most important, a 19 inch monitor.
Monitor is some off brand: Starview.
(No dead pixels that I've noticed yet.)

Software:
Cracked copy of Vista with SP1
It’s able to download updates
Office 2003/Office 2007

Has a copy of XP on the hard drive if you want to switch it over.

Several games including:
Age of empires II
Black and White 2
Portal
Crysis
Sins of a Solar Empire
Bioshock
GTA: SA
Rainbow six Vegas 2
And a bunch of others I don’t want to bother typing out.

I can leave the 20 gigs of music I have on here and you can delete it if you want.

The rundown on this computer:
I bought it about a three weeks ago, and I pretty much realized right then that I made a mistake. It works fine, but I would much rather have bought an Xbox, so I can play with kids back home. That and I’ve gotten really used to playing with a Xbox controller. So this is where the situation stands:
I have a high end computer I would rather trade in for an Xbox. It works fine, but I would rather have the cash so I can rock GTA IV.

I already know that I will take a loss from what I spent for it, and I’m just hoping it’s a relatively small loss.

The final price: $1100.
It was originally $1200, but people just jumped down my throat instead of making me a better offer, or trying to negotiate.

The catch: I don’t live in Seoul, or really even close to Seoul. I live in a small town about 5 hours away, and while it’s possible to take two direct buses to my place I understand that this can be inconvenient. I have the original boxes, and if anybody is interested they can take the bus down here, or drive down and come pick it up, but this is the reason the computer is so cheap. I’m looking to unload it so I can play COD4 with friends, but I’m not willing to take a huge loss, or to really really inconvenience myself to do it. If my goal meets up with anybodies desire for a nice computer then by all means feel free to post back.

Summary: 1100 dollars for a machine that can run crysis at pretty high levels, but you have to travel a bit for it.

Thanks. I really needed a good laugh after my kids were annoying today.

$1300 for that? Seriously?

I'd offer about 700,000 TOPS! Let's see...

What motherboard? What brand and speed of drives? What brand and speed of RAM? What brand monitor? 19"?

The only thing I see of value there is the 9600GT.

I hope you find some sucker to buy it from ya. Good luck.

I disagree. You're valuing all that software and music at zero. It would probably cost you about $1200 to put this together at Yongsan. And then several days worth of time to get this set up and install all of that.

If someone wants the PC setup with good specs and a good load of s/w then it's a nice hassle free solution.

Oh whatever. $700? Get off my nuts. $1300 was a high end price that I was willing to wiggle on, but $700 is straight up insulting. I'm willing to go lower, but not for kids trying to rob me.

$700 would be like cost of parts alone. Minimum. An OEM with this would easily be in the $2500 plus range. The monitor alone from a store is $100-$200 minimum. If somebody was looking to buy a computer from a store this would be a amazing deal for the same price.

Motherboard? MSI Platinum Mobo.
HD? Two Hitachi’s both at 7200

Memory: 4GB OCZ DDR2

The monitor is some off brand called Starview. It works, and most deals I’ve seen on here are crappy computers without a monitor.

Hey, I’m willing to go lower on my price, but please don’t insult me with bids lower than the cost for parts alone.

**Edit for double post rule

Thanks Oneway.
The music and stuff is negligible, mostly because it’s assuming people like the same music and games I like.

For other weird creepy posters on here. Yes, I know what I’m talking about, but looking at your postings on these forums for the past few months I’ve realized that you don’t. Just because weird creepy posters put insultingly low bids for everything on the forum, then call it a scam when their bids aren’t accepted, does not mean it’s a bad deal, nor that it’s a scam. Merely that some weird creepy people have nothing better to do then surf forums and post ill advised responses.

What's the processor? BTW, in case you haven't noticed, this is a USED computer. Can you put all component names and model #s here so we can see what we're getting in this "fantastic" rig?

It's not a high-end system by any means. $1300 is a ridiculous price.

Sorry, I thought I put the processor in the last post

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz running closer to 3.08Ghz

Also, except for the typo I made in my last post the price was $1200. Other people keep saying $1300, but I asked for $1200, and then I’ve said I was willing to go lower. If you think the price is too high then feel free to make a lower bid. I’m open to listening to not-insulting bids.

Yes, it’s used. For less than a month. Seriously, less than a month is barely used.

I can post more detailed information, but because it takes more than zero work, and I know that you will never offer me a serious bid, my desire to do so goes down instantly. If you want me to bust open the case and write down 30 million numbers and letters to post here so you can still call me a troll, and say it’s a scam, then no. I’m not going to waste my time.

Yeah, price that out. No way that's even close to what you're asking.

Frankly, I think you're weird and creepy for asking so much!

Really...price your rig out on Danawa.com and let us weird and creepy guys know what's up.

Isak - Don't take offense and ignore this IDIOT "spliff." This idiot always trolls around making rude, off-hand comments. I think he has so much free time he gets his rocks off making rude comments on people's posts. He did to me as well. Just ignore this idiot and good luck on your sale.

Spliff may be an idiot troll, but the computer is still drastically and preposterously overpriced.

Great, you are not as bad as a computer store. Unfortunately, that isn't saying much. You have yet to list DETAILED information about the computer.

How much were the parts, meaning how much is each part worth? Let us compare these parts online to see how all this adds up to the figure you are asking. Also, I understand you want to be basically reimbursed, but when something like this is bought, it loses value instantly. Please bear this mind.
