Could you guys check over this for me?

I was thinking of custom-building my computer, but this guy on EBay's selling one with nearly the exact same specifications already put together (and for what seems like a pretty decent price).

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ype=osi_widget

I want to know if there's any 'traps' or things in general to watch out for with this computer's specs. I've already sent him a message asking for more information about the power supply, but aside from that, anything?

personally i dont trust ebay,but alot of people buy there.the computer looks good other than lack of power supply info like you stated.

I'm wary of E-Bay, but the feedback feature helps a ton, especially for guys like this that have sold hundreds of items.

Thanks.

$70.00 dollars shipping seems high.

Look around at your local shops 1st. I think you could match this deal without having to pay the shipping. I would also shop www.newegg.com and www.tigerdirect.com

The shipping would be much lower from the above venders.
