I really need to break down and buy myself a new computer. I’m going to have some extra money coming up, but I really don’t want to spend a fortune on one either. I just want something that’s good for surfing the web and one that has a decent size HD for MP3’s and porn..JK about the porn.. hahah

are Dells any good? what about buying a computer from ebay? i only want to spend about 450 max...for now...i'll upgrade later if i have the money.

thanks for any advice.

hmmm....i've got a dell right now. i'm not the hugest computer dork, but i think it has like 655 MB of RAM and 40 GB of memory. it works fine for what you want, but i didn't get it for 450. can you even get computers for that cheap nowadays? i think this one was like 650-700...don't remember to be honest...

maybe she means 450 for just the pc? without monitor,keyboard,mouse and all that stuff..id so you can get a dell pc for around 350

ah...yeah i just got a whole new everything...

well that's why i was thinking maybe ebay...i'm sure a lot of people build computers and sell them online (i used to know someone who made a living that way).

or what about buying one from someone who just doesn't need it any more and puts it on ebay? i saw one listed (dell) that was only a year old and barely used (as stated by the seller) for like under $400. i don't care if it's been used or if it's a year or 2 old.

well...i would say that ebay would probably be the best way to find something in that price range. i don't know though...i'm always really hesitant to buy stuff like computers off ebay...that's a lot of money to entrust to someone you don't know ya know?

i agree...go to compusa.com and click on home pcs and then click on ur price range..u will find a decent pc with keyboard and mouse and then maybe u can go to ebay and get a monitor off there.

forget the whole thing, wtf is wrong with teh monitor? and the keyboard and mouse nevar go wrong, and funk speakers.


but you can usually build a cheap ass one by piecing it together. If you don't really need a hyper fast new processor just get like a 2 ghertzfeld processor.


i just went on pricewatch and pieced this one together for $345


Athlon XP 2600 w/ MB, 512 ram, 160 gig hard drive, ATI RADEON 9550 128MB, cheap soundcard (soundblaster), and a wierd ass case.


then tack on a monitor, and just buy a mouse and keyboard at like best buy since those cheap. then you just mount.....hehe, mount.....evertything in your case turn on, install windows.....and BAM. your set.



or pay someone to do it ....

Dell's cheapest model is $499. But if you go to something that's $599+ it's free shipping, so you're better off that way since shipping is expensive.

It depends on what you want. I wouldn't use Dell because they change parts a lot. You never know what you'll get. I work for a computer company and we build pc's. I might be able to get you a deal, but I would need to know what you want. They give me an employee discount and all.
