Is This Computer OK?

[DigitalJay]

I'm trying to find a nice, cheap computer to replace my old one. This seems to be the best deal I can find:

Does it look like a good deal? Does anyone know of a better place to get a really cheap but decent computer?

For a couple hundred dollars more you should be able to get a new P4 from Compaq/HP or Dell. The HD on the computer you linked to is tiny... I'd fill that in a month or less.

This one is even better...

Still way too far over my budget. I'll be saving for a long time to get one for 200-300.

I'd rather have a small hard drive than go half a year without a computer, so I have to get something really, really cheap.

Ive had awesome luck buying used/refurbished computers from HP. They sell them on their site. I've bot 2 desktops and my laptop all used from them with zero problems.

Here's a good place to take a look and see if you can get an even better deal.
They sell on eBay...we are able to go right to their store and pick the things up.

We've bought 4 puters from them (Mac power pc g4, 2 IBM's and a HP) Never had any trouble with any of them....very decent people to work with too.

Also, if you ever need any accessories, cables or whatever, go here...

We order from them all the time...they're very reasonable, very fast delivery too.

Oh, I forgot to say...it does look like a good deal though. And their feedback on eBay looks darn good for so many transactions too.

I just like to look at all options (I suppose you already have though)

It doesn't look like the place I recommended has any as good as that, right now anyway...I'd say go for it, unless you're in no hurry.

I hate shopping for puters....Monday morning quarter backing is what I do when I make a major purchase...

Good luck!

What about Dell? They have some ok deals and payment plans.
