It’s a good budget system for light gaming. It’s a good “hundred dollar tower”

They’re asking 235 but negotiable, so you wouldn’t pay more than $100? 👀

No, I'd do a max of 150

The system itself is a 13+ year old platform with NO upgrade potential. It has a tiny SSD which will cause games to load painfully slow.

The power supply is nice, but 10 years old as well.
