OptiPlex 320 MT - P4 524 (3.06GHz)
16x DVD-ROM Drive
3.5 Floppy Drive
40GB (7,200rpm) SATA Hard Drive
Internal Speaker
System Docs (MT Chassis) - UK
Dell Quietkey USB Black Kybd
Dell 2 Button USB Scroll Black Mouse
Scratched or Dented System
512MB 533MHz (1*512MB)

Dell 3 Year Warranty On Site Next Working Day

Seems like a good deal to me, you can always add some more disk space/memory later.

An alternative

If you know the minimum spec you need, may I suggest you go to this site.

https://www.freecycle.org

This is a site where members can offer or ask for things. In my area PCs often come up. The idea is to keep stuff out of landfill and items offered here must be free.

All items must be free?

Mmmm, that old notion if it looks too to be true it usually is comes to mind! There's a guy in my area getting rid of what must be £600 worth of gear but for free..... Cant get me head around that.....?
