no monitors, but figure $400 for 2 19-21 inch LCD's..

I dont see how anybody could beat these, Ive purchased 3 in the last 3 months for relatives.

I bought the Gateways, but those HP's look incredible.
Mine was refurbished but looked brand new inside and out. Literally still had the clear protective film on everything.

I wish it was for both. :lol:

I haven't called and used my Ford discount yet so I'm sure it will be alittle cheaper. I just wanted to know if this was a decent machine for the money

 

[Joe]

I wish it was for both. :lol:

figured, but had to ask :haha:

 

[cjmatt]

Just a lil bit of advice, dont get Vista if you dont have to

Damn. That looks like an awesome deal.

 

[jspec]

That is a great deal! They are analog 22" monitors but they are just fine. You may want to upgrade the ram on it to at least 2gb and vista basic just sucks. I would go with Home premium for $29.

i will make a call to my friend he fixes and sells computers. i let you kwo what he has in stock. he just sold a family friend a 3.2 celeron d, 160 gig hdrive, 2 gb ram, win xp, 260 bucks.

 

[The Man]

is that $300 or $200 off with that code? I dont understand how you came up with saving $300 when the code is for $200?

 

[skife]

did you price out building something yourself? its usually ALOT cheaper. you can have a pretty bitchin system for around $400-500

 

[b.lee]

I'd go with an AMD Processor
They seem to run cleaner.

I built my PC for $550 w/ XP
But that was years ago, the same setup now is $450 or so.

 

[x4bngr]

Just my 0.02, if you are buying this for business use, get a three year warranty.

The new Intels run better now.
