Cheap computers to buy online?
hey, my buddy at work is trying to get a computer, nothing fancy at all just bare *** ----, with a monitor and printer and looking to spend around 550-600ish, can anyone recommend any places online? I know there's lots of places.
thanks,

Re:Cheap computers to buy online?
I personally prefer dell.com. Sometimes they will have good deals on their computers with free shipping, free memory upgrade and all that stuff. You can buy from both Home and also Small Business. If you buy from Small Business just put your name as the Business Name.
A couple of good site to keep an eye on are www.dealcatcher.com and www.dealnews.com Both are updated daily with good deals and sometimes freaken awesome deals.
I'm sure you could get a much faster computer elsewhere for the same price as the dell's but I personally like dells--although I've heard people having problems with them and that their customer service NOW sucks (it was ranked as one of the best a few years back...)
I hope this helps...

If you have some technical Knowledge (Im sure you do)
try
www.pricewatch.com
Not really a sales site really, but takes surveys from a lot of online computer suppliers and gives you the lowest possible price on any particular item.
check out their deals on "BareBones" Systems. You can usually get away with about 200$ for something decent, but this usually means no software.(fine if you already have it)

Re:Cheap computers to buy online?
get the dell computer and just find a monitor elsewhere. Also note that the home and small business have differen deals going on at the same time.
Be careful with some of those sites on pricewatch. Just because they are rich enough to put ads on pricewatch doesnt mean they are reputable. Look for the BBB signs...
