This PC has been used for gaming and advanced video editing.

Computer is in real good condition, and runs really well.

Inside, it has a Gigabyte motherboard with 2X - PCI-E X16 graphics slots, yes it can run in SLI mode if you have 2 graphics cards. It has 4X PCI slots, 1X - PCI-E X1 slot, 6X SATA ports, and really nice sounding 7.1 Channel Realtek HD audio.

 
Solution
1) Don't get SLI with two, low-end cards. You can probably find a similar computer with a better, single card.

2) As said the SECOND has not enough info for the graphics card.

3) Add $100 to buy a copy of Windows (at least for the first one).

*Not sure what the price is but you probably can do better. Perhaps if you gave a BUDGET somebody could help you build one. Not a range either, but just the MAXIMUM.

Unless these computers are $300 or less I wouldn't be looking at them.
