Description
-----------------
The computer is a lightly used Dell Inspiron 531 desktop tower that an elderly friend bought in 2008. He reportedly became frustrated with it after a few days and put it back into the box and forgot about it. He gave it to me last year and I upgraded the memory to 3GB (from 1GB), put a different hard drive into it, installed a clean copy of Windows, added a couple of dust filters, and gave it to my mom. She used it for six months and then upgraded to a Macbook for portability. The computer served her well and she was happy with it. Now it needs a new owner. I have wiped the hard drive again to prepare it for a new owner, and I am including all peripherals to make the computer ready for immediate use.
Apart from the hard drive and memory, the computer is almost unused. Everything is clean and works perfectly. The hard drive is heavily used (it is not the computer's original drive) and is only 160GB, so if you like, I can install a new drive of your choice and mirror the operating system onto that (free of charge).
The speakers, mouse, and monitor are not original to the computer, either, but work perfectly. They are clean and in great condition like the computer.
I can install a wireless network (Wi-Fi) adapter if you need one. Unless you have your own preference, I will install, for $5, a used Belkin FD57050 USB Wireless G adapter.
I will provide my contact information and if you have any trouble with the computer for the first few months, I will do what I can to resolve it (I repair computers as a job.)
Performance
--------------------
This is not a powerful computer by today's standards, but it handles web browsing, email, Facebook, and other typical tasks well. It does struggle with high-definition video (which requires a lot of CPU power), but it plays DVDs and standard-quality YouTube videos fine (up to 480p) and plays 720p videos fairly well. (the CPU is the bottleneck, not the memory - I tried 800MHz RAM and the results were no better than with 533MHz.)
