Default Re: Is this computer a good deal?

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.

check out: http://www.pcclub.com/systems_desktops.cfm

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

xp 1700+ (.13 micron Version) = 70 bux
256meg ddr 2700 = 40 bux
case = 50 bux

and thats it if you want
(assume your monitor/cd/dvd/floppy etc is good)

GreyBeard,

There is a PC Club near me. They seem to stock good stuff. Their Duron and Athlon systems seem good to me. I wish the Web Site specified the Hard Drive and motherboard brand name, and gave more info on Duron integrated graphics. I can always stop by and look at them or phone them.

I have not bought a PC since 95. But I have upgraded the hard drive twice, the mother board thrice, the sound card twice, the mouse 4 times, the keyboard once, the CD thrice, the CD-RW once, the floppy once, the monitor once, the case once, the power supply once, the ram thrice, the speakers once, the modem thrice, the operating system thrice, and the video card 4 times.
I still have the original power cord and desk. Next month the desk goes.
