Note that this is only the desktop computer with configured software with a USB keyboard and mouse.  You will still need a monitor for a functional system, but many would have one from a previous system.  The desktop monitor interfaces are both DisplayPort interfaces, but inexpensive adapters are available to convert DisplayPort to HDMI or VGA to support monitors without a DisplayPort interface.  For those without an existing system, BVCC may even have a used monitor available for a modest price or temporary loan.  A DisplayPort-to-HDMI or DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter will also be supplied if needed.  Home setup support will be provided within Benton County, AR.

This is a highly-capable computer that would be excellent for any home use application.  Detailed specifications, including enhancements added by member Pete Opland include

IF you could find a system with this configuration, it would easily retail for $700.
