Sempron Desktop Machine $299 AR

[Mr. Lennon]

I just found this while looking for a cheap comp for my sister.

It seems fine for word and internet browsing. Its going for $380 with a mail in rebate of $80 bucks. Probably the cheapest computer thats not a celeron.

Keep in mind this is pretty much the same as an Athlon XP. The S754 Semprons are the sh!t... not this one.

Seems like a deal. Can anyone beat it with another pre-built machine? I'm in the market. Thanks OP.

Ironic, isn't it, that some people have trouble with certain online retailers (and often whine about it), while others have no trouble at all with the very same retailer - kinda like some people have nothing but trouble with their hardware, while others find smooth sailing with the very same setup. So, why do some people have nothing but trouble in life....while others, experiencing the same three dimensions (and in all likelyhood, very similar natural occurances), find peace/harmony in their daily lives??? (big hint: you are what you eat)
