My sister wants a new desktop for her and the bro-n-law for websurfing, email, etc. They currently have a 10 yr old gateway - - so I know anything will be an improvement. I was looking at dell because their limit is around $500. Here's what I have so far: Dimension 2400 Series Intel® Celeron® Processor (2.40GHz, 400 FSB) Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition FREE Dell Color Printer 720! SAVE $60 (after rebate) 4Yr Ltd Warranty,At-Home Srvc + Nights and Weekend --because they are not pc literate and too far away for me to look at it 512MB DDR SDRAM at 400MHz 40GB Ultra ATA/100 7200RPM Hard Drive Single Drive: 48X CD-ROM Drive 17 inch E773 (16 inch viewable) Conventional CRT No speakers $498 with free shipping. The emphasis is low cost. I know I could reduce the cost with less ram but I think in the long run it will be worth it and that goes for the 4yr warranty also. I'm wondering if yall think a 2 or 3 yr warranty would suffice? Also, I realize the 20% off and free shipping ends today. Thanks for any advice/ideas/suggestions. :)
