I'm not sure why the shipping is so high, but the e-mail they sent to Andy said that's their standard rate for a tower. I thought it was high too, but I won't pay sales tax. Am looking at the total cost. Do you think it is reasonable or not?

Thanks...Greybeard

It sounds like your buying a used system.

Is that $26.21 a month?

This is out of the Global Computer catalog. I think that I got a small price break because of our IT guy's relationship with them and previous orders. Their web site is globalcomputer.com. You can order a catalog there or price a new sustem if you wish....Greybeard

I found this on the WEB:

Systemax Venture LP C20 988132 $499.00
Intel Celeron Processor 2.0 GHz with 128K Cache

128MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM Memory

20GB Ultra ATA (5400rpm) Hard Drive

56x (max) CD ROM Drive

I bet the price you see in Global Computing is for leasing.
$26.61 a month. Lease to own, trade up ecetera....

Is this a good deal??

Thanks for your advise...Greybeard

Sorry for the earlier mistake. I must be daft. I didn't even get it when you posted my mistake. The cost is really $516.21 + $51.99 s&h. I messed up the price when I went back to put in the dollar sign.

So now, my question remains, is this a good deal...Greybeard

Ok For that kind of money it is a fair deal,
BUT... your saddled with some poor choices my friend.

Lightweights:
AMD Duron i$ much better than Intel Celeron.

Heavy Weights:
I like Athlon better than Pentium.

What would you suggest? I might be willing to spend more, if it will give me a better system. The urgency is off, because I am going to use my old system for a short time after reformatting the C: drive. Hope it Lasts a week or so, so I can play my turns =|%^)>...Greybeard
