Josef, A lot of these bargains are black and white VGA monitors or zero monitors. It would help in a comparison to have the RAM, Hard drive, Monitor, CD-ROM, and Modem status. Years ago(1983) I initiated the term "bare bone system" to the PC industry. And we sold a case, power supply and motherboard as a minimum FCC approved unit. There is a media GX mother board with video, I/O, HDD, FDD on board. Add a case and a keyboard and memory and mouse and a 3.5" and a CD-ROM and you can make a monitor free system for around $340, plu windows 95 cost, which brings it to around $420, and that is in line with a $499 selling price.
