Default Looking at a computer on ebay- is this too good to be true?

I am looking at this computer on ebay, but I am not an expert. Can some of you look at it and let me know if it is actually a good deal, or if some of the parts are cheap, or if it is a bad company. Thanks.

It would cost a little lees if you just bought the parts yourself and put it together. It uses a good HDD and Graphics. If you don't know that much about computers I suggest you purchase a Dell since they have much better support when you have problems. For $1600 you can buy a very nicely equipped Dell PC with an LCD.

check out www.techbargains.com they list good deals on Dells.

Also notice that the auction doesn't include an OS. You will need to get that separately. I have a friend who got ripped off on ebay buying a computer that never arrived. I don't usually buy anything on ebay unless it can't easily be had elsewhere or is a ridiculously good deal. I wouldn't say this meets either of those requirements.
