What computer part would you buy for $30-35?

[zCypher]

Assuming $USD what computer item would you purcahse for $30 to $35?

Keyboard, memory, what..?

The best item I can think of that I saw recently was 256MB ram for $25. Otherwise I can't think of much I'd want to buy that would be WORTH it at that pricerange. Hot deal on CD-Rs maybe.. but otherwise you get nothing good for $30. What do you think?

I'd buy a tank of gas and a cheesburger.

I would probably pick up the extra memory or a wireless optical mouse.

There's nothing I could buy for $35 that would improve my computer.

Well, for $30-$35 you can get quite a bit at Newegg's refurbished section. I saw a Radeon 9000 and a 1700 Thoroughbred for about that much today.....

holy crap you people reply fast...

anyway. how about one of those flexible keyboards?

50-pack of CDs?

256+MB ram?

just want some ideas... want to spend about $35-60cdn on something for the comp but don't know what. My keyboard dies randomly sometimes (plugging in again makes it work) but that could be a K7S5A related prob and I don't want to spend on a new M/B right now. I have $50 speakers, can't buy better speakers than I have for the money I'm willing to spend. printer/scanner same deal... burner - MAYBE. I have 8x4x32 HP ... I could buy a 48x12x40 or some similar thingy for reasonable price. but why? no CDs, and 10 mins to burn a CD doesn't bother me in the least. so maybe a DVD drive? can get one for $60cdn.. 16x.. that would be cool.


BUT...... I have a TNT2 and a 15".

:Q

Don't plan on sinking lots of money into this comp but I do wanna do something little to it..

usb keyboard?

 

[JOSEPHLB]

if I had $35 extra bones.... I'd buy myself the last parts I need to fix up my wrecked bike..
2 Air Intake Covers would finish me off

 

[Booster]

What computer part would you buy for $30-35?

I would repair my old Laserjet 6 printer that takes several pages at the same time. I was told it can be fixed for $30.

link? I'd JUMP on that if I could get it for that price. WTF?

Over here, 256MB PC133 = $39.99cdn minimum (cheapest place). 256MB PC2100 DDR = $110-120... 512MB DDR uld be 200-230+

WTF would you get 1GB DDR for $30-60?

 

[DeafeningSilence]

If we're talking price after rebates, I'd get one of these:

a 40x CDRW drive
a 40-60 GB hard drive
a UPS backup

I've bought all of these for under $30 in the past. (And I'd do it again! )

 

[SCSIfreek]

actually I got paid for buying a UPS from circuitcity on BF. they paid me $20 to take it lol.

If I could get the PM to go thru w/out a hassle, I'd pick up those Z560's @ Staples for $19 AR. You have to PM to OfficeMax and then send in a $20 rebate. Excellent deal! I'll keep on pounding my Yamaha YST-50's in the meantime until they're back in stock.

I'd fill up the Supra and hit Gyros for lunch.
