Thats without monitor or keyboard but since your on game tavern I assume you have such.. But if you don't you still don't need a monitor the MB has integrated Geforce4 with TV out.

crono just make sure it has at least these secs
Windows 98/2000/ME/XP;Processor: Pentium III 800 MHz or Higher ;video Card: 32 MB 3D Video Card ;Hard Drive: 6 GB HD CD-ROM: 4x or Faster ;RAM: 128 MB RAM
those are the specs for FF XI

Remember he's on cdn currency.

exactly what is your max price?

edit: and Hero2...those specs are washy. He needs atleast a Pentium 4 2.0 or higher and minimum 256 RAM if he wants to play FFXI decently. I also think you shouldn't settle for a card lower than a Geforce 4 ti 4600

A Pentium 3 800 can handle FFXI but barely and with all settings at lowest. That system is so far out of date it isn't even funny.

[Hero2]

thus the "atleast" was add to my sentance

[Seth]

ya, but i'm saying he should make sure his specs are a lot higher than what you stated as a minimum. He wants to be able to run FFXI fluidly...so he should ATLEAST get 256 DDR Ram and a P4.

I agree with bouncer, Hero you want to over shoot incase of updates not skim the line or go under.

[edit] Ok this may sound a little under educated. But how much of a diffrence is canadian currency from us ? Not looks I'm talking dollar to dollar.
