I’m Selling my old system that’s served me well for years. Don’t bother looking up the specs online as you won’t find them; this PC was custom optioned through Sony for myself. It was purchased in '05 and was not cheap, lol. It would be a great computer for a media center mule or work computer. There are a few issues with it: 1. Does NOT come with a hard drive. I have factory restore disks so that you can install a new HD and restore it to original factory settings. 2. DVD writer / reader sticks and needs to be ejected sometimes by sticking a paperclip in the little hole. 3. The case door is fickle… I don’t know why, but sometimes the computer will not boot when the door is closed. I haven’t explored this issue further as I bought a new PC and never bothered to. But this issue started literally the day after I bought my new PC. - The processor is a **liquid cooled Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading, 3.8ghz or 4ghz** … I can’t remember exactly. Note the hole in the side of the machine and radiator on the back. - **Memory is 2gb.** - Video card is an **NVIDIA something… with 256mb** _I think_ … it might be 512mb. - Standard definition TV tuner. - TONS of inputs & outputs: s-video, RCA, coaxial, Firewire, Fiber-optic, USB, VGA and that silly connection the proceeded HDMI but that isn’t HDMI. - 2 optical drives (reader / writer combo & simple reader.) - Every other portable media input you can think if including good-ole-3.5" disks. - Comes with **wireless mouse, wireless keyboard and remote control.** - Comes with **Logitech 5.1 surround sound** speakers w/ sub-woofer. - Does NOT come with the monitor / TV pictured. I don’t know what it’s worth honestly so feel free to low-ball, lol. $200 seemed low based on eBay searches for the store-bought models. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_001.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_001.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_004.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_004.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_005.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_005.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_008.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_008.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_009.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_009.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_010.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_010.jpg) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_012.jpg](http://www.nyspeed.com/pictures/vaiora/20120102_012.jpg) Again, because I’m sure someone will not read this ad totally, this price does NOT include the monitor / TV pictured. 🙂 ---

Wow! old school but defiantly a work horse! I think $150 would be a reasonable price with all the accessories included, and that connection you were thinking of was dvi. On a side note $75 for just the tower is my offer I could use a htpc in the bedroom lol ---

Yeah I had to have the dial on the back turned all the way down when I used it, lol. There might be controls though windows to decrease the amount of bass output but I never looked.
