I got mine from a super center. It was a mess and it was a good thing I had the flyer cause the manager had no clue about the computer. They took my name and phone number and said when they found them they'd call me. They called me Saturday to say they finally found them. The price on the box was $398.00! It did not come with a monitor.

 

I think it was up to the local store to come up with them. The ad was really vague and had no brand name listed. I ended up with an EMachine.

Wow!! :eyepoppin Where was I?!?!?! I didn't know that they had a $150 computer!!

 

Boy do I need one this year.

 

Does anyone who got one of these computers, did they get theirs at a WMSC?! That was open 24 hours?

I actually got 3 of them last year at a WMSC. They would not let us take it out of the black wrap until 5 am though. It was crazy. I had to pay seperate for each. I stood in line for two hours. When they finally brought them on the floor. I made friend with the associate. She said she would turn her head when I was getting the ones I needed. I just lucked out. They work great for my boys and husband. I also found a great 19' Flat panel Monitor at Target w/o a rebate for a little over a $100. Now my oldest son wants a laptop.

How soon would someone have to get in line for one of them?? I need 2 maybe 3 pcs this year for my kids. They are still little but they love doing their reading programs on the pc and I am nervous letting them on mine. Is that an all day and night camp out?

Depends on how many your WM has in stock. Last year the WM we went to had a huge pile of them and they did not seem to be going that fast

Our store had five eMachines for $125 last year. 3.2 GHz Celeron, 512 Mb RAM, 80 Gb HD and CD-RW/DVD ROM combo drive.

 

BTW, each store was given just whatever was available to send to them. Our store has never carried an eMachine, so this was a surprise to me.

 

I'm looking to replace one of spare machines this year. Should be a pretty good chance they use BF this year to clear out the single-core systems. If so, there could be some Pentiums and Athlon 64s hiding out in the BF computers.

 

But, I do really wish we had a Best Buy in the area.

That computer was in the extra sale that they did not advertise. You got an extra piece of paper with the rest of the listings on it when you walked in the door.
