Seems like a decient price, if you plan to do any gaming id say go for a 3200+ but for basic apps that would do great.

Dear Valued Northgate Customer,

As of April 25, 2005, Northgate Computers will close its operations to all customers. Northgate will no longer supply any type of warranty services inclusive of technical phone support. If you have sent any product back for repair or replacement, that product will be shipped back to you with options on how to repair your product or obtain technical support. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank all our customers for their support in the past. [/]

With that said, if you can get it for the 260 = 49.50 s&h it would be a decent system for general use, according to this cached google page it doesnt appear to have an agp slot, but you could always gut it and swap out the board. All depends on what you wanna do and how much your budget is.
 
Plans for it would be mild gaming, Sims, q3A, Q4, maybe a few other.

I would pick it up for a "base" for some upgrades. Vid card, ram. maybe a couple other things.

I figured if it comes with a monitor and speakers,ect. id just sell those off same with the medoia drives and maybe some other shit cuz i wouldnt need them to recoop some of the cost of it.
