*UPDATE* It looks like the deal fell through, the seller never responded to the emails I sent and the listing is getting pretty old. Thank you all very much for all your input. Looks like I'm either going to do some tune-up on the old one or keep poking around for a deal on a new/used one.
Hi there. I am new to tomshardware so I hope I am posting in the correct place.
I am looking to buy this great deal of a computer off of Craigslist. It's a CyberPowerPC Ultra 2098 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229285) for $300. I am going to arrange a time to come by the seller's house and make sure everything works and I'm not getting a lemon.
What I'm looking for in particular is diagnostic (for lack of a better term) programs or benchmarks to make sure everything is working properly (I'll just bring them in on a flash drive). So far I'm going to try SpeedFan to see how well cooled it is but I'm not sure what else I should come equipped with. If anyone can think of other programs that would help me ensure this is a good buy I would appreciate it if you would put them down. Thank you.
