Looking for budget desktop system!

gazibidian · **6-10-2004, 8:14 PM**

Hello!

I live in Hawaii and am looking for any good desktop deals to refer to a friend. Type of system:

reasonably fast, budget system to be used for internet surfing, cd burning, general office applications. AMD or Intel is fine.

I know dell often has deals but looking for one specifically that has a good shipping deal as the cost of shipping to hawaii can be deadly.

He's ready to buy within the next few days so I told him i'd check with the professionals

Thanks!

can you give us more of a price range? budget for some can mean $300-400 while for others it can mean $500-600+. would he be interested in a refurbished model?

also, does he need a monitor as well? if so, regular CRT or LCD?

Hey Rossman, good to see you in your stomping grounds

We got the following here:

Staples
OfficeMax
Office Depot
Walmart
Sam's Club
CostCo
Sears
Circuit City

Bestbuy is coming but not for some time!

As for budget, I believe he's looking for $600 or less. CRT is fine as space isn't an issue. Refurbished is probably okay as long as it included warranty and standard large company support.

Thanks!
