I’ve got a gateway essential 450.This was an elderly persons computer,its super clean.I popped the gateway seal on it a few weeks back to install a network card and it had virtually no dust,I was shocked.

P3 450MHZ  
256MB Ram  
10gb HD  
Creative Sound card  
8MB Nvidia TNT-2 AGP video  
CDROM  
Floppy  
LAN

I will toss in a 17" Dell CRT,Keyboard and Mouse.I’ll even do a fresh install of XP on it.I know it seems dated but its actually not bad for surfing the web,it helps that it doesn’t have any on board audio/video.It does have a AGP slot,4 PCI slots and 1 ISA slot.

$50,will deliver.

Looks exactly like this…

I might be interested. I run a dart league in rochester and I need a computer with a certain slot for the card reader. I believe it is a asi slot. It is a ribbon slot if that helps. I know that the newer computers dont have them. Let me know if you think that it has that slot.

I don’t know,I never heard of a asi slot.

An ISA slot is for cards.Its the last slot on this image here at the very bottom…  
(which is what this gateway has)
