Default Is this a good Pc deal? - 07-20-2004, 06:03 PM

Ok this guy I know says he will uild me something like this for 750$, this is just the computer I already have everything else.

2.8ghz
512m RAM
128m Video Card
40 gig hard drive

Can I get a system like this cheaper anywhere?

Also I get a one year warrenty and I can take it to his shop myself, which is like 3 miles from my house.

It will be 750$ for the PC, already built and ready to run when I get it home.

depends on what the video card is. its seems like its kind of expensive for what your getting... no motherboard? check newegg.com and compare the prices.

It's a P4, and nope I don't get speakers, but I do get a soundcard. XP would be an extra 100$.

yea, thats what sucks right there, xp = $100

i thought i was getting an amazing deal somewhere, about ready to buy then realized it was average when i factored in XP and decent speakers.

believe it or [url="not...http://www.compaq.com"]not...http://www.compaq.com[/url] has some decent prices with AMD processors, some even cheaper than if you were to order from no-name companies online. but if you were looking for speed in upwards of 2.8ghz, definatetly try to go elsewhere.
