Is it worth it?

[Samapico]

Pentium 4 2.6 GHz

256MB DDR RAM

80GB Hard Drive

DVD Burner

Stereo Speakers

No AGP graphic card though... (I got a good one on my current computer that I would put in it)

No screen either, but I'll use the one I have now and put an old crappy screen to my older computer

 

They sell it 600$, with 2 possible mail-in rebates of 100$ and 75$, which brings the total price to 425$...

38.45$ shipping costs

44.69$ taxes (yeh.. Québec taxes are high )

 

All prices are in canadian$

 

Details here

 

 

If I don't buy it, I'll have about 130$ to put in my current computer anyway (I need a 80GB hard drive and a DVD/CD-RW/CD-R drive)

 

What do you think?

Enough to play SS.

[Alvan]

you can get an gb hd for like.. 30 dollars...

 

dvd buner will cost about 50... mine did

 

i wouldnt get it

[Yupa]

Seems like a good price.

[Samapico]

Hard Drive for 30$ ??? ... Lowest I've seen was 75$ (can) for a 80GB Western Digital 8MB cache

 

And for the burner, I was planning to buy a 52/32/16/32 drive for 55$ It doesn't burn DVD's, but reads them, that's enough for me. It only burns CD-R/CD-RW

 

And my current machine is a P3 550MHz 128MB RAM ... =/

Man, anything is worth more than that POS you already have.

My 'POS' works fine... I have to reboot it only about 2 times a month... and it's usually not because it is crashed... I don't even remember last time it did crash... got windows XP pro on it... it works very good

[NBVegita]

lol Just cause it works, doesn't mean it works fine...

[Samapico]

because it doesn't crash it works fine Alot of people have constant trouble with their computer, even if they have hyper-computers.. mine works fine and never crashs so I don't feel that chaning it is really 'needed' ... I'm just thinking about it... I think I'll just buy a new HD and cd burner for now

[MikeTheNose]

Crashes? What Crashes? Programs crash. Not the computer.

[Raem]

Computers crash too.

[kentbrockman]

ouch

[»Maverick]

lol .. what a waste

[Samapico]

The fun part is that nun stealing the other laptop...
