Anybody Need A Computer?

Long story short, I built a computer for somebody who I thought was a friend of mine who was trading work for me who then decided to leave town without paying me for said computer or finish his work. So I have a basically brand new, pretty darn fast (smokes my home PC), computer with 17" LCD Monitor sitting here that I can't afford to keep as I need the money, and just want to get rid of for my cost of the parts: $675 (I'd usually sell it for $800+ with all the time/labor I spent on it to build it).

Quick specs on the thing:
-Antec LifeStyle SONATA II Piano Case with 450 watt ATX Power Supply
-ViewSonic 17" Black LCD (with built-in speakers)
-ASUS P5NSLI motherboard with built-in sound, network, etc... - upgradeable to dual (SLI) video cards and Core 2 Duo/Extreme processors and up to 4GB of RAM.
-160GB 7200RPM HD
-1 GB Dual Channel DDR2 RAM
-Intel Pentium D 915 Presler 2.8GHz (Dual Core)
-Radeon X550 256MB PCI Express Video Card
-10-in-1 Built-In Media Reader
-Lite-On Dual-Layer DVD/CD Burner
-Windows XP Pro (if you can provide a CD Key, as I used this guy's CD Key to install it and that would be piracy and that would be bad) or Windows Vista Business Edition (as I have a copy of that).

Understand that I'm not Dell, and I don't have their buying power, so I can't provide 24-hour tech support, and it'll probably be chaper to buy from a gigantic vendor. But I have built dozens of PCs over the years, and rarely have to work on them ever again. All the parts in the system carry at least a one-year warranty. It's been fully patched and anti-virus software has been installed, useless crap uninstalled, as has some basic (free) office software from openoffice.org.

It's seriously a great little desktop computer, and it's pretty darn quiet, too. If I had the extra money, I'd just replace my home PC with it -- so unless somebody's willing to just give me $675 so I can keep this thing, I have to sell it.

Would prefer to deal with somebody locally, as I don't really want to ship this thing. Questions, let me know.

Update on 7/29: The computer's been sold. Thanks everybody for your interest!
