Hey all

I'm getting a computer for work.. simple nothing fancy no decent graphics card, good speed cpu/ram, stuff like that.

i'm looking for a place to buy the whole box for around 600 and under. i already have monitor, keyboard, mouse and the other stuff.. jsut the box needed.

any suggestions? good stores?

oh and i want to stay away from the compaq, dell and all those other instore computers..

thanks in advance

Why? For a work machine, a Hot Deals Dell is hard to beat, especially if you want a legal copy of Windows. Since you don't need gaming, you could get one of the small and quiet boxes too.

i just never liked dells policy.. i mean this goes like 5-6 years back..but this whole "you wont need more then what we give you" approach.. like i remember dealing with a dell a while back and it was a pain.. maybe things change..

anybody else thinks "dude, you gotta get a dell" ?

I do, only if it's a hot deal though

well like this one, is that really a hot deal?

Dell. That's the option for your needs. End of story.
Go here www.gotapex.com for Dell deals. The above deal is not good. You can do far better. I've seen the 4600 going for 239.00
