Default would this be worth $25 USD

Considering I'm looking for a cheap laptop and this is not a "old clunker". If it has everything else (a pretty fast processor, memory, dvd/cd drive...etc) to just have to add a hdd wouldn't be so bad. I'm going on the basis it just needs a hard drive. but for 25 bucks I wouldn't be out a lot if I wasn't able to use it kwim?

What do you think?

Mostly wireless web, DVD player for trips (not that we go on many). If it works possibly some photo editing.
