I will admit I'm kind of a noob with these things. I checked out some of the stuff on newegg and I'm not sure if its worth it. Also I can't post the link since I don't have over 5 posts.

From Craigslist:
"I am looking for a ps3 or cash in exchange for this computer I put together 1 year ago. The computer is loaded with video games, but most are online play and require an account, I am willing to throw in my accounts with this deal or if you're uninterested in the games I will format the computer with an Operating System of your choice, such as Windows XP, OS X, Linux."
SPECS:
-LIAN LI PC-V600B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

i dont think anyone would trade there ps3 for a pc... PS3 is basically a pc anyway. and if you know how to mod then you know!! haha

I got a PS3 for my Acer Netbook loaded with apps in March. =)

I wouldn't trade my PS3 for anything resembling R2D2...

You could make the above unit for 300 usd or so, not including the os of course. If you want to trade your ps3, at least make it worth the trouble.

is the deal worthy?

I had to edit my post once I looked at this again. Maybe now its worth it since you can buy a ps3 for 300 usd now.
