This is a desktop with monitor, mouse and keyboard included. (Seoul area only).

CPU: Intel Celeron 2.66 GHz
RAM: 1.5 GB
HDD: 140 GB
CD-R/DVD-ROM combo
GPU: ATI Radeon 9550 (DVI, VGA, TV-out)
OS: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)
Monitor: 17" CRT (may be a 19", I don't have a ruler)

This computer is perfect for all your general computing needs. It comes preinstalled with a great office suite (OpenOffice.org), web browser (Mozilla Firefox) and tons of great software. With Ubuntu, finding the program that's right for you is easy and best of all: free.

One of the best features of this computer is that it's running Compiz-Fusion without any hiccups.

Check out these youtube videos of what's possible with Compiz.

This machine is currently using screenlets (akin to Mac OS's widgets), AWN (which is a desktop icon dock) and Desktop Effects, which can emulate almost every Mac OS effect and MS Vista effect, and SO MANY MORE. (Your friends will be jealous.)

Special features you probably won't ever see again:

I've written a small tutorial for the new user, so jumping into your new computer and playing with all the toys is easy to understand.

I'll include a copy of MS Windows XP (in case you decide that Ubuntu is not right for you). Installation is up to you.

For a week after you buy it, I offer my own services in helping you with any technical or desktop problems you may have (telephone and IM). I'm not a computer whiz, but I do know more than the average user, and I've been using Ubuntu exclusively for more than 3 months, so I know my way around it pretty well. Also, if you decide to scrap Linux and use Windows within the first week, I'll guide you through the installation process (if needed).

PM, reply or email ([email protected]) if you are interested.

Good to see a fellow Ubuntu user on the forums! Good luck selling the box!

FYI:

OS: Still rockin' Ubuntu
No monitor (he didn't want it)
Final price: $250

Total loss: ~$100 (I bought a 1GB stick o' ram and an ATI Radeon 9550 after purchasing the computer for $300)

Not a bad deal, all in all. $100 for my first taste of sweet, sweet Ubuntu Linux.

You can get yours here:

Also, thanks to Dave's ESL. I sold this thing in less than a week. And I wasn't actually all that expecting to sell it at all. And if anyone is interested in the monitor, it's a 17" or 19" CRT. I'll give it to you for $20 OBO (that might include you just coming here and taking it out of my apartment.) If that doesn't work, I'll post pictures of its flaming wreckage soon.

Pax.

I'll take your CRT. Where are you?
