With no software (missing XP CDs) it's a bum deal.

You can do better. Too many learn the painful costs of no restore CDs later. That XP OS can run another 200 bucks and more (install fees) so I'd skip this deal. Even the 299 or 399 new Dell desktop should rival this one.

Not too good

I paid $600 Australian (probably around $400 US) for a new Compaq with a faster processor and Windows XP preloaded. Includes a monitor. The deal you're asking about isn't very good.
