When considering your options for purchasing a computer, here are the details and considerations for each choice:

Option 1: eBay Listing (Link Removed due to 404 Error)​

Unfortunately, the link provided appears to be broken (404 Error), so I can't access the specifics of that listing.

Option 2: eBay Listing (Link Removed)​

Without the details from the second eBay listing, I can't confirm if it has an HDMI port. Generally, most modern computers come with an HDMI port, but it's always best to verify this for the specific model you're interested in.

Option 3: Custom Build Offered by Your Mate​

• Asus P7H55-V ATX Motherboard

• Features:
  • 4x DDR3 Slots
  • PCI-E x16 Slot
  • VGA Port
  • HDMI Port
  • 6x SATA Ports
  • GigaLAN (Gigabit Ethernet)

    • Intel Core i3 530 2.93GHz

    Considerations:​

    1. Custom Build Advantages:
    [
  • ]Potential for customization and upgrades in the future. []Personalized build from someone you know.

1. Custom Build Disadvantages:

   [

1. ]Price Comparison:
   • While the custom build offers a personal touch, consider the value in terms of specs compared to the eBay listings.
   []Operating System:
   • The custom build does not include an operating system, so you would have to purchase and install one separately.
   []Future-Proofing:
   • Consider the longevity of the components and how well they will serve your needs in the coming years. If you have specific requirements or preferences in mind, feel free to share so I can provide more tailored advice. Additionally, if you can provide more details about the second eBay listing, I can offer insights on that option as well.
