I know all of you have your skills for the search, but I have one question. Who is the king at finding a good deal? I am looking for a new test box (nothing special). Who can find the best deal period (not including ebay or other auction sites). I'm looking for the best deal period, it does not have to be a complete system. It could be a bare-bones, refurbished, top of the line, bottom of the line. The only thing that matters is the deal I am getting for my money.
This should be interesting.
I'm sure we could get a better deal than this but i am posting this as, maybe a starting piont.
Have a look at this: http://configure.us.dell.com/dellsto...oc=D24B3&s=dhs
Yea, I think jinxy just won. If you want a cheap but good deal for your money, Dell is the place to go. I'm not a big fan of their stuff but its the best you can get for the littlest. =)
Hmmm, thats not cool. Only one suggestion...
Personally, I use http://www.pricewatch.com to find good prices on components, systems and barebones systems.
Consider other options,Quote:

build it yourself
buy a used system, privately. I have always found that the above options have been the least expensive for me, unless you get gifted a freebie system
The cheapest way I know, to get used computers is to go to a fairly large military base's DRMO. That is were they auction off older computers. They might sell them individually, but most times they sell them in lots for dirt cheap! Most will not have OS's on them though.
Just call around to Navy Bases etc., and ask for the number to their DRMO.
cheers
The man asked for the best deal. I gave a starting piont Is no one going to at least try.
How about www.newegg.com just built a computer for 190.00 dollors. (That did not include the case, fans, and motherboard.)
AMD XP 2000
DDR RAM 256
60 GB hard drive
Can't go wrong.
Hmm, looks like that site is for me :)Quote:

I've been meaning to buy or build a box for a while... Maybe I'll have to get my hands on some of their stuff. Looks like good prices :p

edit Hmm I just found this site.
Get a brick and head to the computer lab of the local high school. Insert the brick into the window. Remove computer in rapid fashion. Run.
Please note that the price of the computer is determined by footspeed. If you're a good runner, it's a freebie. If you're not fleet-footed, it could cost you 3 to 5 plus restitution.
