Our kids get our older computers when my wife and I upgrade. Their computers were getting too far behind and we were thinking about upgrading them. I checked this weeks Best Buy ad and they had a computer with 17" CRT and Printer for $249. By no means a powerhouse but considering what they were using (Duron 1ghz, Celeron 667) it would be a huge improvement.
Intel® Celeron® D processor 360; 512MB DDR2 SDRAM; DL DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; LightScribe labeling; 120GB hard drive; Windows Vista Home Basic. I didn't need the monitors (we have 4 LCD monitors now) or the printers (have plenty) but the price was great. After we bought them we noticed they had just the CPU for $199 or a better system with P4 and 1gb of memory for $299. They still have them availble online and in some stores. There are no rebates to deal with.
 
its ok for a 200$ machine, however with the amd athlon cpu's so cheap, itd be worth spending a little more and building a more current machine price wise.
 
Pharo...do you have a link to the system at Best Buy????
 
$199 sold out now
Compaq - Presario 360 Desktop - SR5010NX

$299 p4 1gb ram
Compaq - Presario 641 Desktop - SR5030NX

The $249 bundle is also sold out. There are several other Compaqs available including the $299 one with monitor and printer for $349. Hopefully a few that were interested got one. My kids are loving them and my wallet is happy too. Certainly better systems out there for considerably more but I couldn't find an online builder that could build a similar system with Vista and a dvd burner for $200-$300.
 
get the p4 system. Vista barely runs om 512k of memory.
