Hey, get that computer out of Off Topic

 

[jimbob200521]

Aside from being in the wrong forum, it doesn't look like a bad PC at all for the price. Heck, we sell Windows XP Home for about as much as that entire PC costs...

Now that either says something about Dell's pricing, or our pricing...

 

[Kroze]

that's what i'm thinking....

decent. the athlonx2 3800 w/ 20" lcd dell deal for 499 was better if you wanted/needed the lcd.

 

[mzkhadir]

you need to upgrade the memory on the machine plus warranty if you care to.

 

[dartworth]

does that come with an upgrade coupon to Vista...?

 

[RaiderJ]

You probably couldn't find anything better for less money. Maybe something in the forums, but for new that's a decent price.

How about a new Harddrive?
