Good, cheap place to buy computers?

Hey guys,

I need a simple PC built to show off my PCDJ software (we're the new distributor).

Nothing special, at least a P4 (celeron is fine) with 256mb ram, 32mb vid card, CDRW, and built in soundcard is fine.

Only thing is that I need a 19" rackmount case, or at least a case I could put sideways.

I'll even take a used PC if anyone is getting rid of one.

Let me know!

errr... I've heard some bad stories from Microbytes. Not concerning their actual computers but as regards to their servicing. Just watch out! :/

There's even www.tigerdirect.ca based in Canada, which you'd most probably be better off ordering from.. I just ordered a barebone kit from them, still waiting for the delivery.. Anyways.. seems like they have great prices

haha dude you're right, once i went to their store to buy a cd burner, while i'm there the manager was having an argument with a customer on the phone, he simply told him "one second sir, please hold on" and he hung up on his face

They got the new mac mini. Have no idea if PCDJ works with Mac OS X.

Microbytes is alright. Serving department will fuck u over any change they have.

You're probably right. I've been going to that one for a bit now and I've never had a problem. In that case, STAY AWAY FROM THE ONE ON ST-JEAN!
