jarerice Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I know this topic has been covered before, but we really need some help. We went last night and all we really need is a new tower. We went to Bestbuy. Before we knew it, we had almost talked ourselves into buying a much more expensive model. We want to spend under 500.00. All we really do is use the internet. We was downloading music and I used to do pictures and stuff like that. I have read over things about Windows Vista, about how it does not work well with the Celeron processors. This would be our thrid computer in like 10 years. For what ever reason, they always quit working. We have always bought the cheaper ones. So what should we do? Where can we get a good computer without spending to much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martini3 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Office Depot under $450 for an Emachines. Or go to a local Computer store and they may be able to build you one for cheaper. Mine was last year out the door only $915. We have a huge system. If one was to buy my system from a store it would cost $2000+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bryan1090 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Wow three computers in ten years. I've had the compaq for 8 years and now another compaq which will last me another 8 years until I decide its not economical to upgrade any more. With upgrades so cheap I always tend to upgrade rather then buy new. Just bought 512k ram stick 9.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdanette Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I'd look into buying a Dell- they usually have good deals and they last quite a while in my experience. ETA And most of the time you can refuse the monitor and such and lower the price plus get free upgrades. All depends what type of special they are running. I think the lowest priced computer you can't refuse the monitor but the rest you can. Just play around on the site and see what package you can put together for $500 or less :) (hopefully they'll have a special on s/h too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jme621 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 this seems like a nice one for under 500 and its a dual core LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarerice Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 this seems like a nice one for under 500 and its a dual core LINKLOL... That's one of the ones that we looked at. I think it was the next step up. I agree it would be a good buy. And we could always buy a LCD screen later. Thanks everyone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
