Even those prices youve mentioned are too much. 4 Gig ram is $50. LCD monitors can be bought for between 120-150 for an ok-ish 22-24 inch (acer/asus) anyway, or around/under 100 for a 18.5-20 inch. Obviously you can go up and down as well in both size and price, but theyre fairly typical monitors these days. The machine mentioned is about 2/3rds the price of a new, significnatly more powerful machine with warranty, etc. It's only if it's a legitimate Windows7 that it's worth it.
