I have a display and a printer already and didn't want to mess with the mail in rebate that the printer requires... but thanks for the info!

rebeljean55 Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Oh I see.....Do I have to get the printer with this deal?I don't think you have to get the printer, it looks like it's an additional offer you can get while they have stock available.
gbeenie Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Here's the desktop I bought about a month ago: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FK63D0/ref=oss_product Except for the fact that I had to open it to connect one of the sets of USB jacks, this computer has been practically perfect in every way. I've always bought my motherboards from Asus, so that part was a no-brainer. All I have to do is add a nice graphics card (and maybe up the power supply to go along with it), and this would actually be a very decent gaming rig.
crazypurgatory Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 The only deal on a inexpensive desk top is this one that going to be $299.98 at staples on Friday.http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/BM413AA%2523ABAThe only problem I have with it is that you can't add a second hard drive or a CD/DVD recorder to it and the DVD writer is sideways.
gbeenie Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 And if that DVD drive goes kerflooey, you have to make sure that the replacement can be mounted sideways (I know from personal experience that will cost more).
wsniper1 Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 try this then :) http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00301765000P?i_cntr=1289937141898High end Computers do not use DDR2 RAMlooks like an out dated maxed platform.decent price though.

I am wondering because I know I can reconnect everything, but I dont want to void the warranty.
nirvana4all Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 High end Computers do not use DDR2 RAMlooks like an out dated maxed platform.decent price though. My computer is rather High end, with a 850W PSU, 2x 5870 GPU crossfire, 8GB ram, etc, on and on. It also runs DDR2. Why? Because AMD has done a great job of allowing me to use my parts over and just update my CPU with a simple drop in, also DDR3 is not that much faster in 95% of circumstances. This platform will likely be able to accept upgraded CPU's for another year of releases. Given that it currently has a 10xx series processor that is 6core, the next quickest processor he could drop in there is currently $200+, so no need to upgrade it soon.This is a great price, good hardware. Will it possibly need a video card and therefore an upgraded PSU to allow it to reach full potential? Yes. Will it last for quite a while as a quick and usable rig given normal maintenance? Yes.Dont know how anyone can call a 6core processor that is less than a year old outdated.....Sorry, rant over.
