However the reason it is being sold is because it keeps freezing and when a restore was tried it locked up in the middle of that as well. It was taken to Best Buy and they wanted to charge at least 200.00 to have it fixed claiming it was the mother board. What I would like to know is this computer worth buying and having fixed? Is it possible it's not the motherboard at all but a software or possibly maybe just needing a new hard drive? Any ideas as to what could be wrong? I have a son with cerebral palsy and I wuold like to get him an inexpensive PC for Christmas. I want to hook up his special keyboard and so forth. Make it just his. I currently own a Sony PCV-RX580 and I've never had a problem of that sort with it. Worst thing thats happened is I've had to replace the DVD-RW Drive. And if I do decided to purchase this computer what would be considered a reasonable price? Thanks Kelly
