Cheap Desktop PC

[tcarrsaved]

Good morning all,

Has anyone stumbled across a cheap PC? Looking for a basic CD-ROM, XP Loaded, 1 Ghz, 128MB, 20 GB hard drive, speakers,...minimum specs.. Have pre-ordered the Microtel unit through Walmart for $299.00, but they are running 4-6 weeks on delivery (glut of orders, not available in the stores). Has anyone else stumbled upon a ready-to-use PC for under $300.00, recently? Thank you for any input you can offer.

Its not under $300 but.....I got my pc from peoplepc for about $800. It included 3 years of internet, tech support, and special offers from them. The computer is mine to keep and I just buy a new package every three years to renew my membership or I can keep the computer I have until I decide to renew from them. I have been with them for almost 2.5 years and I have been really happy with them. If you go to www.peoplepc.com you can get more info. But if you figure the price of the internet service alone is about $800/3 years it makes the tech support and computer free. They have a payment option of $25/month roughly if that makes it easier. I paid in full because it saved about $100 that way. Good luck!!

I dunno if this would be under $300 but maybe after you added XP and upped it to a 1ghz, but then took off any optional stuff you didn't need:

Take a look over at Computer Geeks. There should also
be a 10% coupon code floating around out there. As always
the shipping charges make it sometimes difficult to snag a deal.

tcarr,

I hate to say it but you get what you pay for ... Do you need a monitor? Or just the PC?

If you are only needing a PC, e-mail me because I know of a site that has GREAT deals. You'll be amazed at how much you can save. I hesitate to share it with everyone since it's an auction site few people know of and it would drive up bids.

MrT

p.s. I got my parents an HP 7935 (retails for $800) for $375 shipped. The same model has been going for about $350 shipped recently. It has a 1.3 Ghz Athlon, 40 GB hard drive, a CD burner, 128 MB Ram, and XP on it.

Thank you for your help - everyone on the PC search. I was out of town for a few days - just got back. I am sticking with the Walmart $299.00 deal - with XP OS and all, how do you beat it. I checked out "People PC" a few years ago. Considering I can get internet access for $5.00 per month, it seems a bit expensive. I think they cover repair, but I have never had an issue with any PC to date, my oldest being 3 1/2 years old. Thank you, Mr. Thrifty, for the auction information - if you want to email me with that link, please do - maybe I could use it in the future. The Walmart PC I purchased was for my father-in-law and it will suffice for his needs. Thank you again, everyone, for your help and assistance!

Any chance I could get that auction link too? My 14 son has a computer on his Christmas list and we have lots to buy so any help would be great!
