 Posted: 09/10/04 - 14:06 Post subject: I just bought a refurb computer for $80!~
Thank you Fry's Electronics!
The total price was $280, with Windows XP installed and since Windows costs $200 for one license, I essentially paid $80 for the rest of the machine. :w00t:
I forget the exact specs, but it was a Celeron 2100 something with 128MB RAM (will upgrade later), 40 GB HD, NIC and modem.
I remember when computers used to be expensive.

Sounds like the cars I owned when I was a kid where the new tires were worth more than the rest of the vehicle.
Is it a good runner?

Nice try I guess.
Will have to figure out how to get a new computer for cheap one day...
Otherwise, I'll just plain disappear until whenever.
