Tech Help, Please.

I know nothing about computers, but I'm looking to buy one. I scoped things out on Dave's ESL and I received the following offers, which seem exactly the same, for 300,000 won.

Are these good deals? Should I go with door #1 or door #2?

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ricky

Door #1

Hardware
------------
2400mHz Pentium 4 processor
80GB Hard Drive
512MB RAM (easily upgradeable if need be)
CD-R/DVD-ROM
NVIDIA GForce FX5600T 128MB video card

Software
-------------
[everything will be freshly installed]
Windows XP (SP 2)

Door #2

hey ricky, here's my 2 cents...

-processor, Hdrive, and memory are both equivalent.
-don't know about the antivirus software mentioned. Norton is about W50000/year so that shouldn't be a major part of your decision.
-BitTorrent, iTunes, Mozilla, and IE are all free downloads so don't make those selling points.
-both have MS Office and XP

the differences that I see...
-door #1 has monitor, mouse, & keyboards
-one has DVD and the other has TV out. (which will you be watching?)
--TV out is the only advantage i see of door #2...if you don't have a TV.
-Door #2 has a cd writer (nice to have, but they are super cheap and easy to install)

i think i'll see you tomorrow at Halmei if you have any more questions...

oh yeah, W300,000 is a good deal for either computers!
